Serious question, why not? Do they produce some harmful flicker or something?

burn in with static ui elements - The idea is, that regular very different images reduces the risk.

Static UI elements you say?

Like games have?

So the same issue we've always had with crt, lcd, and plasma.

Actually a different issue. With CRTs and plasma, burn-in would actually burn an image into the phosphors of the screen.

OLEDs will slowly burn out after continued use, usually starting with the blue LEDs, giving a similar appearance, but not exactly the same (for example, you can only see the image persistence when displaying an image).

LCDs don't have either issue, but sometimes crystals can get stuck in a specific orientation, leading to (usually temporary) image retention. Gets worse in very cold weather. This is rare, though.

Some screens have pixelshifting to mitigate this. Also, burn in doesn’t happen as quickly as you might think.

Now, you wouldn’t want to go using an OLED for a billboard.
