I didn't say that no one dislikes the notch - I said it's silly to dismiss the iPhone X because of it. Yes, it isn't the ideal situation. But it does a good job of maximizing the screen real estate in the form factor with the technology limitations. There was already a status bar there on other iPhones making that space unusable most of the time anyway.
Again, I would prefer no notch. But it's a non-factor right now, and I much prefer the notch to the large top and bottom bezel. I'd also dislike a notch on something like an iPad or MacBook, where the bezel doesn't sacrifice as much for size.

It's partially a design choice largely driven by technology limitations. When it comes to actually using the phone, its hardly noticeable, and completely disappears if the screen is off. Hence why I think its silly to make it a deciding factor about purchasing a phone.
Too expensive? Great, totally understand. Prefer Android? Same. Don't want to give up TouchID? Well, I'll disagree with you and talk about how FaceID is great, but I understand skipping the X because of that. But the notch? That's a silly thing to base a purchase decision on.
