Marco Arment nailed this: https://marco.org/2017/09/18/courage

The iphone had an instantly recognisable silhouette for 10 years: symmetrical forehead & chin, with a big round home button. Going to very thin bezels necessarily throws this trademark away. Making lemonade, as it were, they've chosen to embrace the notch to create a new trademark.

To me, what made the iPhone great for so long was more than its look physically. It was the integration between the software and the hardware. Everyone saying that the notch is a new trademark is explaining away the fact that isn't the case anymore.
