LCDs won't go anywhere. They are cheap, bright, and don't suffer from burn-in.

µLED doesn't experience any burn in, lasts decades, has perfect blacks and can reach higher brightness than you would ever want to look directly at. If they can get them to where OLEDs are now in terms of price they'll take over the market.
Any display with pixels that produce light can burn in. MicroLED is supposed to be less susceptible because of the longer operating life of the LEDs, but there's not a whole lot of information out there since microLED displays are still pretty rare.
I have a 34" IPS ultrawide from 2018 that I've been using heavily for work and personal use (essentially 14+ hours a day). Since it's an IPS panel I have no worry about burn-in. And I can keep using it for another 6-7 years without worrying about it.
With an OLED panel in the same scenario, I'd expect to see some burn in happening within 3 years of getting it.
