I think people dialled the outrage back again when they realised the area below the notch is a full 16:10 display—i.e. they added display where bezel used to be, rather than cutting into the display area.

Yes, once I heared that I was ok with the notch. Not only that, it makes much sense this way.

It limits how many menus your apps can have or makes them draw around it. If you enable compatibility mode you'll be back to an even fatter bezel which looks like dog shit.

Rationalize that away.

Understand you may be that 5-10% of the market that the notch impacts. The vast vast majority aren't running Photoshop and will spend 90% of their time on a browser which likely complies with notch.

You think pro users spend 90% of their time on a browser?

Enable compatibility mode and you'll be back to the same "dog shit" as the previous screens which people didn't seem to be that outraged by.
