I didn't like the article that much, since it kinda rides on the fact that people are replacing monitors every three years, which most won't do.
Most people won't turn on any non-default settings to mitigate wear. They'll roll light mode, won't turn down the brightness, won't turn on savers, and will leave spotify on while the Taskbar is displayed. 5-8 years of use later, that will probably amount to uneven wear on the panel, making it more likely to go to a landfill rather than be sold secondhand for a new lease on life.
