Outside Thinkpads IPS is basically the cheap/default option on laptops, with OLED being the premium choice. With Thinkpads TN without sRGB coverage is the cheap/default option, with IPS being the premium choice.
I'm just getting my new ThinkPad tomorrow with an OLED screen. The X1 Carbon. I haven't seen TN film in ThinkPads for years.
But yes, you are right, they are conservative on new tech in the ThinkPad lineage.
