There is not, and there could be. If there's enough backlash, 12.1 or 12.2 or whatever will simply make that an option.

Additional screen estate.

But this is really no different than, say, the iPhone having a camera bump. Personally, I wish the camera bump were at least more symmetric so it doesn't wobble towards one particular corner. But even that is just not a big deal in everyday use.
Is the notch a compromise? Of course.

For years, people complained that the bezels on the MBP are too fat. Now, they're about as thin as they could possibly be, and people don't like that either.
Can't please everyone.
