About oleophobic coating

I have a question, when removing a screen protector, does it also remove the oleophobic coating on the screen as well? There is hair under my screen protector which is annoying but I don’t want to risk it

MacBook screen protectors So Apple's general rule of thumb is never put a screen protector on a MacBook because nothing should be between the MacBook screen and keyboard. Yet, Apple sells these screen protectors on their website. I messaged someone from Apple, and they said I wouldn't have to remove this specific type of MacBook screen protector and that it will still close all the way without worrying that the screen will crack. Is this true? Have any of you used this type of screen protector? Does it close all the way?

MacBook Pro 14inch Screen Protector Is it worthy for me to use a screen protector on a New MacBook Pro 14inch 2021??? I spent 23USD last week on a screen protector just to avoid scratches on my expensive MacBook Pro but when the screen protector arrived, it just disappointed me because dust could still accumulate between the original screen and screen protector. That could risk my MacBook’s screen. What do you think folks, should I try another screen protector or just use my MacBook with it.

No it should not remove it but if you have a screen protector on, the oleophobic coating is covered anyway.
