It's not hard to beat the notoriously bad build quality and reliability of the LG UltraFine and Apple has a track record of building solid displays (I have an LED Cinema Display that's going on 13 years old with nary a single issue).

I think your experience has been a constant of most Apple products for the last 22 years or so. Some people have no issues ever, some people have constant issues all the time. That said, I loved the Cinema displays and they did have a good track record, but if memory serves, the Thunderbolt Display variant was notoriously flaky [0]. Since they've put out so few external displays, it does stain their reputation a bit.

  Everything I've heard about the Pro display XDR's has been that all the things like USB/Thunderbolt connectivity are rock solid. This suggests Apple's display group has their goods together, and the Studio Display is likely to be solid too.

    Ya, that does hold up, it seems pretty stellar. It is like $7k or something though, I'd really hope that's true.

  I'm not sure the Thunderbolt Display is a useful anecdote, here. It's from 11 years ago.

    True, but I was replying to someone who directly referenced their Cinema Display from 13 years ago.
