You are kidding right? Do you have any sources for this?
Samsung Displays is a different company than Samsung Electronics, and just like TSMC, they build displays to order for any customers to their specs, since they're in the business of selling as many displays as possible, not catering exclusively to their sister company making phones.
They have no interest to intentionally make lower quality displays for non-Samsung customers, especially due to increased competition from the likes of BOE. Otherwise how do you explain the existence of Chinese phones like OnePlus which traditionally shipped with bleeding edge Samsung panels that had even higher brightness than Samsung's own flagships?
So if Apple's displays seem inferior in specs to the cutting edge ones in Samsung's flagship phones, it's because those are the specs Apple ordered Samsung to make knowing full well the compromises (most likely cost and other potentially unknown risky teething issues of bleeding edge OLED tech)
