That seems likely since we would have heard about something of this magnitude from a supply chain leak weeks ago.
My theory is that the notch is in the Function key row.
Got a tip for us?

MacBook Pro Display With Notch Shown in Alleged Photo Leak

We don't know; all we know is that this version of Safari was apparently built against a future version of macOS that has a concept of a safe area of the screen. Whether that's used at all, and whether that's for a notch (or, perhaps, for rounded corners, say), we don't know.
So only the only part of Monterey with code that could accommodate a notch is Safari? Hardly compelling evidence of the something which affects the OS and all apps.

BUENAS NOTCHES A TODOS
What horrible move , notch notch. What is going on with apple. ? They got stack in technology? Steve must be rolling around in his grave ….Jeeesh
Apple never mentions the word notch, and they will probably call it the most advanced display they ever created.

Twitter is going crazy 😂 no one is talking about Google and Samsung event 😂
No, it's Safari looking for a system API. Which suggests that some future build of Monterey has that API. (Or, at some point, a branch of macOS did.)
Well, that's another question.

Yes! Samsung and Google 😂 it’s game over for them. Apple is at it with a thunder.
If the first version of Monterey isn't built to accommodate the notch, it's not happening in Monday's computers.
Tim Cook is twiddling his fingers Mr. Burns style to that tidbit.
Brands manufacturing laptops w/o bezels usually place the webcam at the bottom of the screen resulting in a low angle view. This is horrible. A notch that houses the webcam and placed at the top solves that.
That said, I'd like to see Face ID as well.

Monterey isn't out, so we don't know either way.
(And it could still be that Monday's computers get a different build than everyone else.)
Look it up this way: Apple is adding additional display space on both sides of the camera.
That’s what happened with the iPhone. We didn’t lose display area; we gain extra display on both sides of the camera.
Why so much commotion?

why do people want faceid so badly on the mbp? we already have touchid biometric authentication.
notch is coming whether you like it or not. its to make the bezels thinner and prevent people from blocking their webcams for spying purposes.

Except that the betas already refer to the new display resolutions, which would not be the case if Apple is doing a separate build for secrecy's sake. So if the betas don't have it, Monday's computers won't.
