They just count on the majority of their users to not notice or be undemanding.
Man, how could anyone NOT notice the edge color striping when, say, looking at the task switcher with an app open?

Or the low-power mode clock?
Or anything white against a black area with the LCD in low-power mode?

The entire screen is tinted freaking green, setting color temperature to "Standard" accentuates this ("Vivid" hurts my eyes, so I avoid it)

While perfect blacks look really good on the display, the garbage color reproduction for UI elements (where you have large blocks of single colors, often contrasting) was a major turn-off when I first got my N9.

Man, that was nothing but a shaft for N9 users - Pentile screen, without the high PPI. It would've been much appreciated if they stuck a 1280x720 Pentile, or a non-Pentile 848x480 LED screen.
