I don't think the notch is inherently dumb.

It's a great use of the space in the macOS menu bar that is otherwise usually wasted.

Moreover, having a good webcam is very important to a lot of Macbook users who would not be able to tolerate grainier cameras or the nostril-peering bottom positioning on some XPS laptops.

It is, however, super annoying that various implementation bugs have not been fixed after years.
