Then what's the point of the edge to edge bezel? If you want black bars at the top and bottom buy a Samsung S8. Personally I have no problem with the notch and don't see the utter disdain it's received. Apple's design/development solution of safe areas solved the issue quite nicely.
Top/bottom black bars on iPhone X won't be simple bezels. They will display information at the top and help you perform gestures easily at the bottom. Design is obvious in this case.
Also, it will ease app development. No need to support the notch and the home indicator.
