What about just curved displays? Like in a car, it seems there could be some interesting applications (screen embedded in windshield, or wrapped around the dashboard or center console). Is curved glass tech also a barrier, because I feel I've seen very few applications of curved displays other than TV's.

It’s infinitely cheaper if you want a display on your windshield to just do what aviation HUDs do: project upward onto the glass.

Actual applications do exist. :)
Lots of cell phones have screens with a slight curve to them now days. Or in the case of Samsung's edge displays, a rather dramatic curve.
To the best of my knowledge, neither display in those fitness products was flexible, just bendable.
I know that as of a few years ago, Corning was hard at work on flexible "glass" for flexible displays.
