Macs have always had that, but the newer ones have this issue where the screen hits the keyboard. Never happened with the older fatter models from a decade ago.
I have one of the last 16” intel macs and god I wish it was built like the 17” ones. Cleaning the screen terrifies me because the thing is so fragile. Not to mention how my previous screen had the coating get messed up from using glasses cleaner on it once.
Maybe it depended on use but I had this 2012 mbp that would be shoved into a backpack with heavy textbooks for 7 years before graduating to a lighter packing in the backpack. Never had issues, but the 2020 intel macbook air I bought that just sat on my desk during covid did develop those imprints within a few weeks it felt like.
Well as I recall 10 years ago we would use keyboard covers , and those caused imprints, but the keyboard alone never did. I cant imagine you could even use a keyboard cover today. Kind of just worse design all around on these laptops.
My HP also has a piece of cloth to put on the keyboard before closing the lid. I always suspended by pressing the power button and disabled suspend by closing the lid, so it is natural for me to use that extra protection.
