Those tricks are actually used pretty frequently in modern graphics stacks, especially around things with fine edges like text. In those cases it's called "subpixel anti-aliasing".

Of course that all falls apart if the display doesn't use a normal subpixel layout. OLED displays usually have an unsupported subpixel layout. Some of them even have a white subpixel that's not controllable by the computer, which makes subpixel anti-aliasing impossible.

I returned my first oled because of this. It was maddening reading and writing, and made any graphic design impossible.

Bought a new one this year and they seem to have solved the problem.
