Display crack in Macbook Pro 16" (2019)

My screen suddenly showed stripes everywhere. When I brought it to the local apple reseller they found a small crack close to the hinge and therefore refused to repair it under warranty. Instead they offered me to replace the screen for 949€ (!). I am wondering if this could be the same issue as with the M1 Macbooks. There is already an ongoing class action against apple regarding spontaneously cracking screens. But it's only about the M1 line, they don’t mention the 2019 16” MBP’s. Isn’t it basically the same design and display they used in the 2019 Intel pros and the following M1’s?

I would reach out to Apple Support and begin a discussion with them.
