I'll partly agree there, the OS is generally solid but the apps individually can leave a lot to be desired.

My go-to example on LG OLED is Spotify. It's so not OLED friendly, it's essentially OLED-hostile. The UI during playback is completely static and nearly seems designed to cause burn-in.

There are so many things wrong with that app's UX. I would rather listen to worse quality on Youtube than bother opening that app.

A 'favorite' of mine: The Spotify mobile app will play little animations and videos behind the playback display for many songs and albums, but not the TV app. It seems like the TV platform is generally neglected by Spotify engineering.
