I've got a MacBook with a notch and I literally never notice it. That's a common sentiment among MacBook users, btw -- I very rarely seeing people complain about the notch. I'm sure there are some, but seems to be a minority.

You didn’t lose pixels to the notch, you gained pixels beside it!
I frequently notice when my menubar items overflow and get truncated behind the notch with no built-in way to actually see them!
You have to hoop jump with janky tools[1] that actually let you see and access the icons silently hidden because they overshot the notch.
I think nothing shows more that Apple has lost it’s eye for detail and good designs than the icons disappearing behind the notch.
This has to be a vast gulf in terms of usage patterns for different users - I’ve managed at times to get up to six icons in my menu bar; what are you doing that fills up half the screen?
