MacBooks haven't even had glowing logos since 2016.

That was a cool design. Idk why they axed it.

Because of how thin the modern screens are nowadays. Iirc, the logo would shine through and make a bright spot on the screen if made on modern macs.

Yep!
Some of my old Macs had LCD fading right in the middle where the logo was. Was Hella annoying

My iBook G4 just used the screen backlight for the logo. It was kinda dim compared to my 09 Macbook but it still lit up.

Though I guess ambient light might be an issue as someone mentioned.

Wait for real? They killed the logo light? Never giving up this 2012 mbp I guess.

Yeah, the newer displays are just too thin for it. The backlit design was clever at the time, with the logo being illuminated by the display's own backlight, but now at current thickness levels, it would cause ambient light to shine through the logo and back onto the display too noticeably.
