LCOE does NOT calculate for dispatchability and assumes that the power source run at 24/7 at peak capacity all the time
It does not calculate for extra expenditures like energy storage and transport
And it does not calculate for improvements on the grid and equipment that may occur especially when you are computing for the LCOE of a nuclear plant constructed in the 60s and had so many upgrades and replacements

LCOE would favor renewables because it discards the main thing that limits it - weather and limited time of operation.

Does that give you a better understanding now?

That's nice. Look at the capacity.
That means that it is going to consume so MUCH land which would increase its price based on the price of the land lease by a massive margin and it would not appear on LCOE
