After buying a MacBook Air, I'm pretty sure the Menu Bar and the camera notch were the same height. However, after updating to Sequoia, I noticed that the Menu Bar became slightly bigger. I've looked everywhere for a way to revert it, but found nothing. How can I make the Menu Bar and the camera notch the same height? (Seems like a logical thing to me.)

I don't have a Mac with a notch (still on an Intel MBP) but a quick search gets post from three years ago saying the menu bar is a bit taller than the notch, so this does not appear to be anything new.
My humble suggestion: use Dark Mode, and/or a background that makes the menu bar be black, and the notch with all but disappear from sight, blending in with the menu bar.
I've tried this. The 'Default' option only changes the size of the text inside the bar, but not the actual height.
