OLED displays are prone to permanent burn-in, so... not always the best choice.

Right, but it's what most flagships use anyway (iPhone, Google Pixel, Samsung, even this phone), so if you're an OEM that uses OLED and don't want to have a dedicated LED, it can be done with the display. Burn-in wouldn't be a problem for this fake LED because it can move around as it blinks.
