Still waiting for that list of consumer products that had LCDs in them
that were out back in the 70s.

Hell, list even a single stereo receiver. They brought display
technologies to the fore for years in the consumer channel, so they would
be the first to use it.

Name even one.

No problem. Sensor tritium back-lit watch. 1978ish, maybe a bit
earlier. I bought mine in '79 from JS&A wholesale. Still have it,
still works. The tritium has been through a few half-lives so it's
quite dim but the LCD still works fine.

Does not sound like a stereo receiver to me. You are another
illiterate dumbass.
