There’s no green shift at all in that example on my display. Could your calibration be off?

It's practically cyan, which is half way to green, not a lighter version of the blue to the left. This is on a MBP built in display.

This totally has uses but it is not, as claimed, "there is no hue or saturation drift" given the hue has shifted so much.

There certainly is ... run a color picker over it.
I opened the macOS Digital Color Meter and set it to "native values" mode. The second-to-last OKLCH swatch has a green component of 202, and the last has a green component of 226. The corresponding values in the HSL swatches are 203 and 227.

Basically no difference at all.

That is a gigantic difference. Those are totally different hues. Which are, of course, exactly the difference we're seeing.

I'm saying HSL has the exact same shift as OKLCH. And neither is visibly green to me.
It's visibly cyan, isn't it? It's maybe not an intuitive "green" hue (depending on your linguistic culture), but it's clearly different from all the other colors on that chart.
