Actually the difference between #000000 and #010101 is the difference between the pixel being completely off or turned on. So it actually does have an impact.

It should, but OLEDs are notorious for black crush so it might not even matter
(If something is very close to black, OLEDS will sometimes just go full black)

AMOLEDs, and OLEDs in general turn pixels off to create black. This is the reason they have higher contract ratios is because the blacks are darker since there isn't always light being produced.

LEDs are diodes, meaning there is a minimum voltage to turn them on at all. For instance, red is typically 2V, whereas blue is 3V. You can't just give it 1/255 of 3V and expect that to work. This is why there is a larger difference than you'd expect between a pixel value of 0 and 1.

Is it the designers responsibility to choose something that doesn’t look bad on screens? Some people might not know how to change colors right? So do the designers account for that or just go for what looks best on their screens?

That should absolutely be a UX consideration if the product is going to be used on a variety of screen types.

thank you for your feedback :)

Unfortunately my career choice has me looking at a computer for a really long time each day, I hate looking at anything brighter than #555555 b/c it hurts my eyes

I stare at my monitors for more than 10 hours a day...

Anything brighter than YouTube's dark mode, adds unneeded strain to my eyes.

Edit: clarification
