Different priorities. People buying these are looking for good specs in color reproduction, contrast (as far as is possible without FALD backlighting), and perhaps most importantly consistent QC.

If you look at reviews for just about any model of monitor released in the past 5-6 years QC has been atrocious, with dead pixels, backlight bleed, and other odd issues being commonplace, making it a challenge to get a unit that's good all around. This has been especially true for the display that this is most directly replacing (LG Ultrafine 5k).

Nobody is buying this monitor for contrast, it has about the worst contrast available at the price point. It's failure to actually serve this priority at all genuinely makes me wonder what the target audience is.
