I would suggest that you escalate your issue/concerns to the following: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/contact/email-the-ceo/ It sounds like their code update triggered the hardware problem for you and the manufacturer should handle it.

After the OneUI5.0 update (Hong Kong snapdragon version), my phone got a green line. I have been charged $440HKD for the screen replacement. Never buy Samsung again.
