I'm pretty sure professional has nothing to do with dots in the corner. There's really not much to defend about this change, and this change really reduces the utility of macbooks for many people who derive their income from work using that macbook. Hopefully, apple gets the message from users and fixes it.

It absolutely does in terms of this conversation thread since that's what the topic of discussion is.

>really not much to defend about this change

Yes, there is. It makes the vast majority of Mac users aware of when their input device is activated in situations where they may not know.

>reduces the utility of macbooks for many people who derive their income from work using that macbook

It absolutely does not. It only affects the very small portion of users for whom the dot is a dealbreaker, that have to capture audio while presenting, that are not technical enough to follow the steps to remove the dot, and that also have never cared before about the OS being able to render chrome on their work/display output.
