New Google Pixel 3, Pixel Slate, and Home Hub

I never got the impression anyone was saying the notch was inherently good. It was just better (as a tradeoff) than having to forgo the screen across the entire width of the device.

But Samsung seems to have no problem making notch-less phones with almost no bezels.

Huh? The S9 and the Note 9 both have bezels top and bottom. Samsung just decided to give up the ultimate screen size to avoid having any notch. Good on them for not just copying Apple, but they certainly don't have an edge-to-edge notch-less phone.

I didn't say it didn't have a bezel at all. But at 8.12mm, the bezel on an S9 is almost half the height of the iPhone notch.

And all Android phones have a bottom bezel.
