Nobody ever wanted a >60Hz display, but once you've used one it's hard to go back. It's like having a higher-performance car. You're now stuck with paying more just for baseline happiness.
It's probably not actually as hard to go back as we think it is, but holding on to stuff is in our genes.

Strangely enough, I can't use a sub-120hz phone anymore, but I have no problems using my 60hz laptop or 75hz desktop monitor. Maybe the different form factors let people compartmentalize their experiences.

Yeah, we're talking more like reducing the amount of sugar in your tea hard, not quitting heroin hard.

As an experiment I put my phone into 60Hz after posting this comment. 5 hours later I've remembered. I didn't notice.
My personal experience is that I do notice the difference - for like a minute - and then I adjust and never care anymore.
