It is an odd design choice on Apple's behalf to make the sides of the notch usable/drawable. With an OLED screen you can easily black them in such a way so they "disappear" in horizontal. Keep them for OS status in vertical orientation.

Matching rgba() to the hardware around it is a very interesting take!

Isn't the notch in landscape mode similar to how we used to have these feedback buttons on the left or right of the screen with absolute positioning? Uservoice and GetSatisfaction come to mind.

I dont think they are saying that, just that the infinite contrast ratio of OLED allows you to hide the black pixels very well.
