I got no problem with that tiny LED or glowing apple logo personally

But liquid glass and insane amount of bugs that arrived with it is killing me.

Likely you experienced later gens where they toned it down. ~2010 it was one of the brightest LEDs you could purchase. As in they literally put a torch LED on the all white Intel macbooks of the era and it would shine through the laptop bags, pulsating.

Not Maybe, I owned a 2009 MBP. Everyone with a macbook from that period that I knew had the same issue, they were absurdly bright, you could not keep it anywhere near a bedroom without putting very thick tape over the light.

It was a poorly thought out design of aesthetics over ergonomics.

		nope. actually I remember I had that model first and yes I still don't care. simply the least annoying light compared to other bright color leds in a room. doesn't stand close to liquid glass chaos. loved battery level indicators on old macbooks too, they kind of brought it back with led on magsafe except this new led is more annoying.
