My macbook has 600 nits in SDR and 1600 nits in HDR.
Why would I pay $600 for a dimmed screen?

Achieving high brightness from an LCD panel that literally has a backlight is way easier than achieving it with OLED. There are always trade-offs. I have the Alienware version of this Samsung and I've set it to Tru black HDR because 1000 nit mode was too bright. For gaming or content consumption, I do it in a dim room, I don't need 1000 nits for a room where sunlight isn't hitting the screen.
EDIT: Not to mention screen size being a factor. There's a reason phones have way higher peak brightness than your macbook

Meh. Jumping from 250 -- to suddenly 1000 nits is too apples/oranges.
Literally 400 is a nice sweet spot, give or take, even if you can turn it way down. And its important -- not bc some rooms are dim. Not bc you want to go outside. But bc windows and fresh air actually do exist for about 50% of even the beardiest of beardnecks & office buildings often have entire walls made out of windows, especially in private offices -- where your back is facing the window (and therefore your monitor facing daylight, during the actual day), while your desk faces the entrance door to the office. No one really needs 1000 nits on desktop pcs but pushing for a standardization for these monitors to reach at least 400 to overcome corporate daylight windows/white wall reflections/bright days near a window, is proper.
I agree that 250 is good for many indoor conditions & most people will be fine.
But man, when you have a daylight reflection or a stray beam of light, it adds a micro-level of frustration for a few hours every day unless you board up your windows. And living in a dungeon isn't any happier. So yeah, 700 would be ideal, but if we're going to make compromises -- 400 is the sweet spot that industry should push to achieve regularly, not 250.
Like you said, there may be technical reasons, but if its just a few pennies per inch of screen more, these damn manufacturers should just do 400.

Overall screen brightness isn't even the issue. Low nits = little, to no, HDR highlights. With 250 nits, you're not getting any highlights, which is the whole point of HDR. It's literally in the name. High Dynamic Range. 250 is anything but high dynamic range.
In any case, as someone who has this monitor, it gets very bright. That guy just hasn't seen the screen and its judging it by the 250 nits on SDR.

That guy must just be complaining because his experienes is all on tiny laptop screens that are 300 nits. 300 nits in a 14 inch laptop is very poor, but on a 34 inch ultrawide, it is not.
EDIT: Even 2024 OLEDs are still stuck in the same brightness as first gen OLED monitors. The $1200 new Alienware is the same as are all "top OLEDs" in rtings website

All these OLED monitors get bright enough and the superior response time and deep blacks is way superior to a brighter screen with trash gray blacks.

To be fair, these QD-OLED panels don't have perfect blacks if there's any light in the room. The blacks aren't as black as the pretty old Predator X27 I have next door on the desk, sometimes. Separate issue tho. That and the color fringing (red and green lines) due to the Windows rendering with the triangular sub-pixel arrangement can be annoying. But they are improving both that and the blacks gen-over-gen. And with the generational improvements plus higher PPI, the fringing should be unnoticeable on 4K+ variants.
I personally can't wait for 5K2K OLED UW. Probably will take another year.
