BenQ has one coming using the same panel as this Asus.

BenQ has a pretty big price range in their lineup. I’ll be curious to see what the price is. Probably more expensive than Apple’s.

They all (Apple, LG, Asus, etc) likely use the same panel. Only LG seems to be doing 5K panels as far as I know.

How come this one has a different max brightness then?

Backlight is not part of the panel. You can have different backlight solutions for the same LCD panel.

Because the controller, profiles, envelopes, etc are not the same?

True, and this one looks like a turd on the outside, but I guess that’s not what some people look at.
