You really have to "use" such a window which means selecting it.  Just
displaying a buffer in a window does not count as using it.  The use
time of a window that was never selected stays at zero, so such a window
is always a good candidate for 'display-buffer-use-some-window'.  That's
how use times and `get-lru-window' work.  Feel free to install something
more appropriate here.
