It comes down to how much they can shrink
the sensor array. And, if they can, how much they don't want to add further sensors. A front-facing LiDAR, say.
(OTOH, a good front-facing LiDAR might replace the need for the infrared camera, flood illuminator, proximity sensor, and dot projector!)
I don't understand what a smaller notch buys us, though. Either they make it that much smaller that it can just spread across the entire screen, bringing back a bezel, the way they did on the iPad Pro (but I don't think they want to do that, because the current notch is an iconic design). Or they… make it thinner and/or shorter, and… for what?

Yup. For the most part, I don't notice the notch at all. It looks a bit silly in landscape video, but that's about it.
Pundits gonna pundit.
