Have you used MacOS? Notch is perfect way to add extra space for this OS. You have all options and system icons tucked nicely on its sides and space below is your actual screen that is perfect rectangle.
Way more useful notch and space it frees than touchbar ever was
but the horizontal space on the notch is just used to make the top bar taller, it doesn't free any real space.
It's still goofy as hell, though. The notch is there purely to distinguish it from other products. The bezels are more than large enough to fit a webcam. Other manufacturers have even smaller bezels and still manage to fit everything in.
Dunno, the iPhone notch looked fine to me, but the MacBook one is still silly to me. Maybe something with the sharp corner radius or how large the bezels still are with it in.
