It's been mentioned before in multiple threads, but all four ROG Phones (and the Zenfone 7 line) make use of Pixelworks' visual processing. While nothing official has been stated (I think), but it's been believed that due to licensing Pixelworks' technology, ASUS cannot simply calibrate the screen as they please.

Which if that is the case, ASUS would need an update from Pixelworks in order to change the screen calibration.

@Pervage Pretty much this. As they use a 3rd party for the calibration they are not allowed to change anything officially on the calibration itself as it would breach their contract with pixelworks. The same goes for any audio changes on the Phones as well since they are licensed by Audiomaxx.
It's very simple, if ASUS would mess up the calibration even more, pixelworks would take the responsibility for it. This hasn't, and won't ever be confirmed by ASUS due to obvious reasons but it's the only real logical explanation as to why the display hasnt been re-calibrated again.
The screen flickering was probably another attempt by ASUS to somehow fix the display without touching the calibration. Back in the days ASUS also tried to fix the colorbanding with an overlay which backfired as everyone was complaining about greys instead of blacks. ASUS is trying to somehow make a workaround but it's honestly impossible without touching the calibration itself.
