MacBook Pro TB Anti-Reflective Coating Problems

Anyone else have issues with the the anti-reflective coating on their touch-bar MacBook Pro? On mine it looks like the keyboard keys have worn off the AR coating on the screen. Not really noticeable when the computer is on but when its off you can clearly see the butterfly keys impressions on the screen. I take pretty good care of it too so I'm pretty surprised. 


I know this was a problem on the 2012+ models but didn't realize it affected the TB models too. Can't even take it to the Apple Store to have them check out it due to the 'Rona. Anyone else seeing this on their newer MBP? And if so does Apple cover this under warranty?


MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
