Non Product Specific Garmin Question

Maybe a stupid question... im sure people on here will certainly think so...

Is the Solar functionality of The Fenix/Enduro tied directly to MIP? Like it straight up would not work at all if that solar layer was on top of AMOLED and not MIP or would it work, and just the battery life wouldnt be AS good as MIP....

The Enduro 3 is rated in smartwatch mode for 36 days of battery life or up to 90 with solar. but If we had the say (total pretending here) next gen Enduro with the same size battery and everything else but it had an AMOLED to give the display the color and vibrancy that AMOLED does for all those awesome watch faces and such, with the solar layer, maybe instead of 90 days with solar it would be 70 or 75 and instead of 3000 nits of brightness, its 2500 or something.

Im not an engineer or anything, just thinking out loud. There is obviously a reason as to why Garmin hasnt done it but..
