The idea would be that this cuts into the center of the menu bar — which is what Mac OS X Public Beta also already did.
When 10.0 shipped the non-clickable center apple icon was the apple menu on the left, so you are proposing that a feature which didn't even survive out of beta due to complaints will be a permanent part of the OS for years to come.
 
So it'll just have an artificial bezel across the entire top of the screen when watching full screen movies anyway?

Hope they also get rid of touch id button so I can't even log in seamlessly during classes with my mask on. Wonder what else apple can ruin
 
If only someone would come up with a software solution to that problem. I mean, Apple can put crappy cameras in iPhones and make them look somewhat useable with filters and AI. I'm pretty sure if they'd work hard enough, they could solve the problem with a camera at the bottom of the screen. They could even solve the problems with eyes when looking at the screen and make it seem like people always look directly into the camera. Maybe they could apply some background filters too and remove background noise in audio and so on.

Apple can do this! I believe in them. They should call it Nvidia Broadcast... err, I mean Apple Broadcast, not Nvidia! Apple! Apple Broadcast! 😂
They should rather call DxO for help them because what you're inferring are (a bunch of) optical corrections; something for which DxO is known for.

10.0 no longer had the center apple icon.

Yes, possibly, because this time, it will serve an actual function.

I mean, Apple is clearly willing to cut out a portion of the center of the UI. Look at any recent iPhone. Why wouldn't they do that on the Mac?
 
Steve would have never allowed any notches, I won't either on anything other than the phone, I am still pissed at the notch design

2011 called; it wants its "Steve would never" assertions back.

Steve did allow (and perhaps personally cheer) a does-nothing center Apple logo in the menu bar:
