Yeah, instant non starter for a $1k display. And the HDR section makes it sound like HDR support is purely there to tick a checkbox and not actually usable on the device. Not even counting the fact that the author had to swap the display as soon as they received it to get a non-defective one.
There’s a reason Apple displays are still the gold standard. Everyone else just skips the quality control part. If you trawl the high DPI display subreddits, you’ll find plenty of stories of people exchanging displays many times (3, 4, 5 or more) until they get a unit with an “acceptable” amount of dead pixels/color shift.
For tech that’s in the $1k-$2k range (or above), it’s just unacceptable.

But far more important feature, implemented properly only by Eizo and no one else I am aware of - is uniformity compensation. Benq has it, so does Dell, but they all come with sever limitations compared to Eizo.

Until you decide to use Linux and all the distros you're interested in force you to use Wayland (which is a color management trainwreck). Also, I find that for actual work the calibration actually gets done if the display does it by itself during night at set intervals. Perhaps I'm just lazy.
