I would've missed it myself, if I didn't see the video. I never knew Samsung's YOUM display used graphene. It just thought they finally got around to making flexible OLED displays, since everyone was saying early on that one of the qualities of OLED is that it can be made flexible.
I don't know if it's a cost cutting thing for them, though, at least not in the short term, with small batches of them. It might be why the initial flexible displays will only be 720p, instead of 1080p, which I think one of the rumors is saying (on the LG side).
Either way, it will definitely be used as a marketing tool. I'm not sure if some other form factor other than flat will be appealing to consumers (unless it could be expanded into a tablet somehow?), but I think the biggest benefit to consumers initially will be that it's virtually unbreakable. It shouldn't shatter like all the other touchscreen displays do.
