This has been shining in my eyes for the last 10 minutes whilst the bus driver takes a break.
Ffs of all the colors they could have used too.

They do need to be that bright at daytime, and most indeed use automatic brightness by default. If only there was a technology that could use daylight instead of fighting it...
cons: significantly more expensive, don't work in total darkness, don't catch attention
They have an LED each in the top-right corner of the corresponding dot. The LEDs use different driving signals (much higher frequency and not just when the display changes) but are kept in sync with the slow-updating display to allow both technologies to complement each other: they do work in total darkness and faulty dots have LEDs as a fallback; the LEDs are half-brightness at night, full brightness at dusk and off in daylight.
Also, they were significantly LESS expensive than a sufficiently luminous LED display in the 90s before superbright LEDs existed.
As I said in another comment, they weren't designed for ads but info signage, so they don't actively catch attention, which is what you want to get a visually cleaner environment.

Stage coach?
I saw one of those big rig trucks where the trailer was completely covered in LED advertising displays, on the left, right and back.
One of the ads was regarding broken phones, saying something along the lines of 'broken glass is a good thing'. Don't quote me on the exact wording though, I only saw that ad once, but it was regarding trade-ins and upgrades.
Kinda ironic to have such an ad displayed on a truck where you're tempted to bust their display with a sledgehammer...
FYI, your post title should use "whoever", not "whomever".
A good trick to tell whether to use "who" or "whom" is to replace "whom" with "him" or "who" with "he". It'll be immediately obvious (to a native English speaker) which is correct.
Whomever invented LED bus advertisements becomes Him invented LED bus advertisements
Vs
Whoever invented some stupid shit becomes He invented some stupid shit
Clearly someone needed a technical education as a child.

here just the city lights, and city street high beamers, and tall trucks that have only high beams and higher beams... anyway those are blinding enough as it is
What made you unable to look in a different direction?
Really? Count the things you're not allowed to show in public. It's almost like you can't go through life with your eyes literally closed so the world doesn't bother you.
You have to know that, though, so you must be trolling.
