Ive been excited to see folding phone screens for a few years now, but I'm reminded of the horrible creases that form over time (at least in the Samsung models I've seen).

Are there any folding phones on the market now that don't have this issue? Any that are worth the price?

I'm guessing like you said screen size is the defining difference here (thats a lot more screen to bend), along with camera quality being a bit better, and also they want to encourage the perception that the Z Fold is the more premium product.

The Z Fold also has s-pen support and hdmi out (over usb c) which the flip does not have. My be some other hardware based things too, not sure.
