my phone has been running at 60hz for YEARS and I just now learned that I just had to enable a setting. Why wasn’t this enabled by default???

How does higher frequency help with reading static text?
When reading on a smaller screen there is more scrolling, and on a phone with a lower frequency screen there’s significantly more blur to the text as you scroll.
But I don’t scroll while reading or read while I scroll. Also, my mind just cancels the scrolling, and I’m not even aware of it.
I read on my phone a lot and I’m a pretty fast reader so having to stop reading every time I have to scroll down a bit and find my place again is really irritating after anything more than a couple paragraphs.
With a higher frequency screen you can slow scroll as you read which is still faster than you can read so when reading content that isn’t heavily paginated you can just keep reading indefinitely without having to pause almost at all and it’s just a much nicer and fluid experience.
Well, to each their own. I’m also a fast reader, but it doesn’t bother me at all. I just give a quick scroll with my thumb from the bottom of the screen all the way up, in an instant, read everything and repeat, like paginated content. My mind ignores everything that happens between each new text to read. I care more for the content I read than about the device I use.
