I'd love to see a lawsuit regarding them knowingly shipping a monitor with this defect.
When the EULA is blocking the content, the monitor isn't working as advertised. And they willingly shipped it like that.

On LG TVs, at least, you can also completely disable the WebOS UI via a command sent through an onboard RS-232 interface, at which point the TV displays no overlays at all.

If people decided to take the time to simultaneously take this issue before a judge who will give them a default judgment when a company like LG no-shows it'll start to hurt them and the publicity from this will force change.
