Why are they so allergic to >60hz displays though? There is zero chance that I'm buying a laptop with a slideshow display like that in current year.

I've never had an issue with 60hz. 30hz is unusable but 60hz has always been good enough for me; the Sega Genesis and SNES had 60hz and that's always been good enough for me.
Are you a gamer? Otherwise it's really not easy to notice a "slideshow" at 60 Hz.
Moving the mouse around at anything below 90Hz is pretty rough.
No. I guess everyone has different levels of sensitivity to refresh rates. It is immediately noticeable and very distracting to me when using a 60hz display.

It's not acceptable on a high-end laptop nowadays (120hz minimum). Imagine the reduction in headaches, fatigue and nausea if we stopped tolerating this penny-pinching.

I think you are the outlier with Headaches, Fatigue and Nausea from using a 60hz Display
