On the brightside, if you ignore it until you can’t see your screen properly it’s like the heavens have opened once you finish cleaning it.

Have you tried putting gravel in your socks at the beginning of the day? It feels great when you get home and finally taken them off.

You win. I chuckled. You know I was making a bit of a joke too, right?

I had an M1 pro and have an M1 air, both with screen protectors (that are matte but quick to show smudges) and haven't noticed this.

I have the M1 MacBook Pro and I don't have this issue (I also didn't have it on my 2019, 2017, 2012, etc MacBooks Pro).

Do you put your laptop in a bag where it gets squished between books and other stuff to cause the display to be pushed in?
