By screen protector I mean replaceable covers for flat screens: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805177079468.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.5.5c3c5afcC0OOHj&algo_pvid=ddbacf3e-c08d-4c13-b998-24ff8f9fb517&algo_exp_id=ddbacf3e-c08d-4c13-b998-24ff8f9fb517-2&pdp_npi=3%40dis%21USD%215.53%214.42%21%21%2139.78%21%21%402102160416885621066078188d07bc%2112000032748579574%21sea%21US%21781257429&curPageLogUid=uK2oNBhOApdm https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805177079468.html?spm=a2g... My proposal for the industry: ship screens as glossy and add the matte as an optional screen protector. Note that before around 2010 this was already how they shipped displays: the matte was a plastic layers that you could frequently peel off.
