I guess, though anyone I knew who used retina macbooks had issue with screen peeling off within 1-3 years of use.

There was a replacement program for a bit, so there was a possibility to change the screen, though after some time changed screens are peeling off too.

I know even an anecdote where almost brand new 2016 rmbp after working outside, had a spots of peeled off coating, because apparently light dust have scratched it. Thankfully Apple replaced the screen.

I wonder if it has any correlation with people who close the lid but continue running heavy workloads on their machine. The extra heat could possibly be a cause for delamination.

Nah, I see it on student laptops all the time (who aren't running anything with the lid off).

Also not correlated to putting pressure on the lid with it closed, I've lugged mine around in a backpack full of stuff for years and have no peeling issues.
