There are oleds with somewhat standard subpixel layouts. E.g. my laptop has a vertical(!) BGR layout that FreeType and KDE support just fine.
I think the weird layouts are mostly due to needing different sizes for the different colors in HDR displays in order to not burn out one color (blue) too fast.
May be, but I've seen bug reports with a bunch of layouts and nothing looks standard there. Steam Deck OLED is such example, Lenovo laptops, LG UltreaGear OLEDs and etc. I don't really see any commonality.
