I think it's great if Apple could backup mLED production, that will at least gives Apple an early advantage as opposed to Samsung-monopolised OLED. mLED and OLED are similar in terms of their benefits in energy saving but unlike OLED, mLED has 30 times greater brightness, higher efficiency in Lux/Watt and longer lifespan.
It also enables spot brightness without having to light the whole screen (that's part of its high efficiency). That means you can have a huge dynamic range in lighting inside the same picture without impacting blacks. That lack of range is why those outside daytime TV shots never really look real (our brains are used to it and lets things slide, but it would not mistake what we see for reality).
Scaling isn't usually an issue, it's quantity that's an issue; and one of the reasons why Apple is often beaten to the punch by some low-volume device from a "me first" company after rumours start swirling that Apple is interested in a certain tech.
That's certainly true... I was just responding to some of the comments suggesting that micro-LED displays will first appear in smaller displays for whatever reason. The Sony example is there to say that huge displays already exist.
Pricing and yields are seemingly the main reason they're not used (in general). So, the main issue seemingly is making its manufacturing profitable. Studio monitors would probably the first wide use for larger screens since cost is secondary to quality in that market.
