In case you haven't seen, the Switch OLED screen took about six months[0] of showing a static screenshot (zero motion!) at full brightness for any burn in to occur whatsoever, and it was barely there. If you're doing literally anything else, the OLED pixels will get exercise and this burn in would not have even happened.
Longevity is really not a concern with the types of OLED panels we're talking about. (It's more of a concern for the technology LG puts into their TV W-OLED panels, but those do not exist in handheld sizes.)
I have not seen a single report of anyone experiencing burn-in on the Switch OLED outside of this extreme, unrealistic test. I also haven't seen anyone who owns a smartphone report that their smartphone had burn-in since many, many years ago, even though there are plenty of static elements on a smartphone screen, including the wireless signal indicators. QD-OLED would be nice, but it is absolutely unnecessary for longevity based on the available data.
Switch OLED is also incredibly nicer to look at than even decent IPS panels, let alone the Steam Deck's current awful screen.
