Whilst you definitely know what you're talking about when it comes to TVs you also have a bit of a flair for the dramatic...
If you want to compare the issue of burn-in on a tv with a comparable issue on a phone - then surely, rather than using an example of a cracked screen it would be a more even-handed approach to use the example of... I dunno... ummm... burn-in maybe? Comparing burn-in to a cracked screen is just hyperbole.
I've attached a pic of my tv running a uniform red - as you suggested - and unless I'm missing something there seems to be zero sign of any issues :)
My comment about choosing an OLED with a little burn-in over an inferior set without - was there to illustrate that that whilst it may represent an instant game over to you, to others it would simply be another piece of info used to weigh-up the pro's and cons of a tv. If, like the example I mentioned, the BBC icon caused some burn-in after a few years - the TV wouldn't immediately go from a 9/10 PQ to zero. Maybe it would drop to an 8.5 or an 8 - but that's just me - it's subjective... depends on the severity and how visible it is during normal viewing - not some test screen... and it doesn't instantly negate all of the advantages that the TV holds over it's competition.
Anyway - the completionist in me just wanted to post the photo to show that I'm not some OLED zealot in self-denial - I've had the set for 2 years and it still looks fantastic. If I make it to 5 years without any noticeable burn-in (as in noticeable during normal viewing) then I've made the correct TV purchase & no number of links will prove otherwise!

Might I ask how many hours you have used that tv approximately? Did you play any one game for a long time on it or are you more varied in what you play and watch.

I watch a good balance of netflix / amazon / iplayer / and various sky channels, and of course gaming - on average I'd say the set is on around 8 hours a day. So after 2 years it's approaching 6 thousand hours.
I've sunk around 80-90 hours into zelda, around the same in MK8D & have about 500 moons in Odyssey (so I guess 30-40 hours & a good amount of time in Shadow of Mordor and a couple of other big PC games in that time).
After reading this thread the thing I was more scared of than any HUD elements was the top and bottom bars present when watching films - which we do a lot of - but as of now all looks good!
