Pixel 3's notch area is so big that there is enough room for 2 lines of notification

The notch area is unusually thick with the Pixel 3 and it feels so under-utilized the way it is. So I borrowed an image from Mobile-Review and did a quick and dirty mock up.

I cloned the clock from the left side of the notch and moved it to the right, then shifted the airplane and battery icon down. I did not resize the icons. As you can see, there's enough room there to comfortably fit 2 lines of notification.

Here's the mockup

Obviously everyone will have their own preferences. But, I like having my static icons (clock, battery, signal, BT, wifi) on the right and app notifications on the left. That way, at a glance I'll know if I have a pending notification. Perhaps 2 lines of notification will make that thick notch do something useful?
