You're misunderstanding the comment: the point is Wasabi Mango and co were good because they were charging significantly less for the lower grade panels.

Now manufacturers are possibly prioritizing the highest grade panels for non-gaming use and using extremely expensive gaming monitors as a dumping ground for everything else.

For example, the 28" UR55 has few complaints about backlight bleed and in my experience with having bought several is a reliable choice. Meanwhile the oddly similar 28" Odyssey G8 is known as a "buy and return until you get one that's ok" type of monitor, as are many other gaming monitors these days.

Gamers seem conditioned to just accept inferior panel quality as long as the other specs work, while business and casual customers would probably just buy another monitor if they saw weird issues. They might not know the term backlight bleed, so they'll still see it just fine.
