Use case failure: swing shift worker
Use case failure: busy mom, up before dawn
Use case failure: set time after the power comes back on late at night, zap, display goes dead (this could be worked around, assuming someone thought about it)

There are also non-use cases surrounding these clocks. I often use them to guide me in the house without turning on lights (to not wake up other people, or just because I can), for example.

Why don't you actually use the clock information to reduce burn-in?

Surely not many people will be cooking late at night and early in the
morning. So just do a rough estimate and say not many people will be
using the cooker between 10pm and 6am, thats an 8 hour period where
the digital display could be turned off. Obviously if people started
to use it during this period, the clock would reappear!

I am sure this could be used for different appliances as well.
