Keyboard marks on my 2019 MacBook Air's screen

There's some keyboard marks on my 2019 MacBook Air' screen and it annoys me a lot. I really don't understand why. Is this laptop supposed to on desk all day and not to bring anywhere in my bag/sleeves to avoid pressure? I spent a lot of money on this product and I count on it.

Permanent marks on macbook screen (cant be removed with microfibre cloth) I have trouble removing some marks on one of my old macbooks (Macbook pro 15" Late 2013 16GB RAM, 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7). I seems like a lot of people are experiencing these kind of marks - and they cant be removed? might be marks from keyboard or marks that might come from cleaning the screen? Anyone knows the solution?

STAIN GATE Mac Book Pro 14" 2021, Still has same keyboard Screen Marks Stain Gate Issue Yet again just like on my 2015 MBP my brand new 2021 14inch Mac Book has begun getting the keyboard imprints on the screen. Laptop has been in my possession for 3 days hasn't left my desk yet and already seeing the marks appearing. Which everyone whose experienced this will know eventually progresses to permanent "Key Cap Shaped" marks on the display rendering it unusable. A £3,000 + machine and still the same problems as 2015. Apple clearly haven't learnt their lesson and are now going to get a fresh claim from myself every time I can't a new stain meaning a new screen replacement out of the pockets. So sick this awful design process.

Keyboard Marks on M1 MacBook Air Screen Anyone else having issues with their M1 MacBook Air keyboard and enclosure leaving marks on the screen? I regularly clean the keyboard and periodically the screen, and don't use a keyboard cover. I don't normally take my MacBook anywhere, and I take care of it. It is stored on a desk every night outside of a case. There is nothing that would cause this besides poor design. The other annoying thing about this is it also means that any dirt/debris that happens to get on the keyboard and isn't wiped off before closing the screen will be ground into the screen, potentially leaving permanent marks/scratches. Is this a known issue, and has anyone had it rectified? Thanks, Richard.
