There is a legitimate concern. Just because you ignore it (as several people have posted it), doesn't mean its not there. Even taking the OP screen shot. Just one or two more drop down menus and it is out of space.
Most apps used day to day, would unlikely go past the notch, those that do, there’s still more than enough space the other side to overflow to.
You're the one that doesn't know what you're talking about. Camera modules are not solely responsible for the thickness of a device, are you serious right now?
Furthermore, the point of contention here is that
Apple can fit one in the MBP if they wanted to, why are you reciting the existing thickness of the current MBAs to me? Or are you seriously suggesting that Apple adhere to some arbitrary design constraint because ... reasons?
For reference
here is what an XPS 15 camera module looks like. Yeah yeah, it's not 720p and it's apparently crappy, but here you are telling me Apple cannot implement a notchless 1080p webcam because the MBA is 4mm thick lol.

So, unless you’ve magically seen what’s in the new MacBook’s in that area, or unless you know of there being camera modules that can Be used for the Macbook (Just cos a phone might have one, does not mean it can work exactly the same for Laptops, additionally, even if a phone has one that’s 4mm thin, that 4mm is not the inside space in the thickness, that’s between the shell and the screen), that is of the quality, with the sensor tech, etc that Apple are using in the new MacBooks, your argument falls over.
Your line in bold is just absurdly daft, as if it could be done, they would, since we’ve seen them reduce the notch area on the iPhones, we know they’re not keen on it either.
What you will see in next generations, like with iPhones, is the notch getting smaller, possibly FaceID being added too. First generations are always ones where there’s room for improvement, no hardware is perfect first time, be it Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft. It’s fair enough to criticise, but to make arguments that are based on what you reckon Apple could do, that doesn’t exist yet, just negates anything you say.
Would it be nice for there to be thon bezels, and no notch? Yes. Is it really that much of an issue that there is? No. It’s a minor annoyance that some people like to decry as the end of the world, which is getting boring now.
