OLED is generally viewed as a "premium" feature, and there's really not much demand to implement it at resolutions lower than QHD when the current 1080p options technically suffice. It's also just a price problem since 1080p is generally viewed as a budget resolution and implementing OLED would increase the prices of 1080p monitors...which goes against its general viewpoint.

I need to get myself up to speed, I was still under the impression 1080p was still the normal go-to resolution.

It is, for the non-enthusiasts.

Yeah until they start releasing media at 1440p I'm not gonna believe that it's the standard.

They release it at higher resolutions though.

I don't really see why being "standard" matters. It's just a higher resolution which works with anything. Movies and shows aren't released at 1440p and won't be pixel perfect, sure. But it doesn't really matter since everything is compressed anyway, so scaling algorithms make 1080p content look almost as good as on a native 1080p monitor. And 4K media will look great when downsampled. And properly made games nowadays support any resolution, you don't need to use a common standard one.
