How can we drag apps to the top of the screen?

I appreciate the blacked-out space in full screen mode, but using an app like Messages (or anything in a vertical list) but not being able to place it at the top of the screen in the gap next to the notch is problematic. Is there a solution for this or one in the works?

MacBook Air, macOS 12.5

Problematic in that when you hide the menu bar and use smaller windows for apps there is wasted screen real estate. It’s an awkward gap and it’s reduced function compared to what should be functional. What’s the point in hiding the menu bar if we can’t use the space? I’m either side of the notch?

Problematic how...(?)

for example on the 16-inch notebook, you still have a 16.0 active area on the diagonal in that 16:10-inch window, and we just grew the display up from there and put the menu bar up there.
