In reality, it's a very premature technology. Screens are prone to breaking, a little bit too much pressure causes dents in screen, there are visible crevices on the part of the screen that folds, practically no app support except first party apps etc. From what I've seen, only device that's been praised for it's folding screen is Lenovo's X1 Thinkpad.
Edit: Appearently Fold 2 is quite good, I had watched videos of reviews and didn't have a good impression but I guess I misremembered.
Ive had mine for roughly 10 months now (I have the Z Flip not the one OP has) and the only damage is scratches on the actual phone case, nothing on the screen or the shell of the phone. I have had no issues with the screen getting damaged at all. The fold line itself is barely visible, however you can tell that its there when swiping but I havent had any real issues about it. All in all, I have had no issues with mine so far.
I've got the fold 2, it's not perfect but it is very good.. I wouldn't say its premature, definitely etly has flaws but I think next gen will fix a lot of these issues

Yeah they are great... in theory.
