What it is is a 1/4" of screen space that you didn't have before. That's not nothing.
Also, of course they're hiding it. It appears "useless" until the menu bar comes along, and then it's "useful". So, it only shows when it serves a purpose. Otherwise, why show it? It's just a row of buttons interrupted in the middle by a camera, just like the iPhone. No one talks about the iPhone notch any longer other than Android fans. The iPhone "notch" serves a purpose. It provides home to indicators in an otherwise useless space on the front of the phone, so they're out of the way and provide more screen real estate for the app.
The new MacBook Pro "notch" serves an identical purpose.
