That's just like, your opinion, man. It is clear that you don't like matte screens, but it is a far road from your preferences to universal statements like "Matte never made sense at all."
Also, screen protectors? Last time I saw one was ~1994.

Ugh, I think you're thinking of those tinted glass things you'd hang on old CRT monitors? Never heard of those being called "screen protectors" though. By screen protector I mean replaceable covers for flat screens:

My proposal for the industry: ship screens as glossy and add the matte as an optional screen protector. Note that before around 2010 this was already how they shipped displays: the matte was a plastic layers that you could frequently peel off. Nowadays, most matte displays have the surface finish done right on the polarizer layer.
