#2Enough with the gates. Please. Anything else. I'd even accept stainghazi.
That said, my MBPR has some screen coating issue. But I'm not sure if I scratched it or not, so I won't join their database.

#3I wonder if there is something which accelerates / causes this issue, like climate, cleaning with a particular cleaning agent, or touching the screen. I've had my rMBP since it was released in 2012 and have not seen the issue yet, despite using it nearly all day every day since purchase.

#4The coating on a MacBook Pro is similar to the anti-reflection coating you can get on glasses.
Chlorine and heat will affect glasses, I bet the same can be said for these laptop screens.
I have a feeling that with a database of 258 people, you should be able to find out what people are using to clean their screens and damaging them. Cleaning your screen using those bleach wipes is a sure fire way to damage it!

#6Unlike cookies, laptops should not be baked. These things probably sat in extremely hot vehicles or something.

#7My 13" MBPr has this stain pattern.
Here's my guess, I used an alcohol-based solvent to clean my keyboard and then closed the machine. Now I have stains of the oleophobic coating coming off in the places you'd expect it ... where the keys manage to come in contact with the screen.
So I suppose it's my fault, but I have a Lenovo T440s here with a beautiful matte screen that has no need for a fancy oil-resistent coating that comes off when you breath cleaning solvent on it.
Color me unimpressed, Apple.

#8Image 3/19 is very interesting and numerous show fairly specific markings indicating scratches near the center of a stain which would support a chemical leaching through a broken protective coating. Similarly a chemical near the edge of the screen/coating could leach into the area there as well.

So Apple has to figure out how to stop people from using abrasive cleaners on their computers that would also cause issues if it came in contact with switches/circuitboard or anything else in a laptop?

Bit of a difference between the screen and keyboard -- which users interact with -- and the guts of the thing. Use some common sense.
