For at least one gen of MacBooks (maybe the ill-fated 2016 MacBook Pros?), this was actually a design fault. In the battle for thinness there was not enough separation between screen and keys when closed, leading to damage to screen coating over time. Newer versions had a slightly larger rubber lip on the screen to increase the separation - as I noticed after getting a replacement for a damaged model

This can happen on other laptops, especially to cat owners.

I now have the M1 MacBook Pro and it still has that issue.

  On the brightside, if you ignore it until you can’t see your screen properly it’s like the heavens have opened once you finish cleaning it.

    Have you tried putting gravel in your socks at the beginning of the day? It feels great when you get home and finally take them off.

      You win. I chuckled. You know I was making a bit of a joke too, right?

  I had an M1 pro and have an M1 air, both with screen protectors (that are matte but quick to show smudges) and haven't noticed this.

  I have the M1 MacBook Pro and I don't have this issue (I also didn't have it on my 2019, 2017, 2012, etc MacBooks Pro). Do you put your laptop in a bag where it gets squished between books and other stuff to cause the display to be pushed in?
