As someone who used to be a big proponent of matte screens, matte finish is largely unnecessary when the screen in question has a combination of high brightness and good antiglare coating.

My personal iMac and work MBP for example are glossy but have 600 nits SDR brightness with great coatings, and so have no issues with glare even in a brightly lit room while I’m using dark mode (which shows reflections more).

That said matte screens can also benefit from high brightness. The 500 nit matte panel in my Thinkpad X1 Nano is excellent.
