Feel the burn-in
Probably not as bad as you might think:

but yeah not sure how much worse it would be if always on...
There's a lighter band at the top of the screen on my phone, corresponding to the darker header area in the RedReader app for Reddit. Just from using that app every day. Though that seems to be kinda reverse burn-in, in that the rest of the screen became darker since I use the light colorscheme.
On the desktop, the taskbar alone would definitely burn in with my usage patterns. And probably also the tabs and the status bar in the editor.
Might also depend on the model and if it does any sort of burn in protection processes such as pixel orbiting. My partner has been using a Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED for productivity about 4hrs a day for about the past 3 years and it doesn't have any noticeable burn in yet(lots of other really annoying software UI issues though, because Samsung... 😅)
