Update: as I was just now searching for information about some equipment to keep at home to make (these too overly frequent) glossy displays matte,
I met from a most prominent producer of chemical products the statement
> Glossy Protection Film offers a glossy finish to help maintain the finish of a glossy display or instantly upgrade a matte display to high-gloss
Repeat for disambiguation: they would """upgrade""" matte to, mh, glossy and highly so. There was also a picture for the monstrosity nearby. So, that «isn't possible» has a counterexample. (Which is not difficult: rub some oil on it etc.)
When I saw that further confirmation of the apparent ongoing process of the total eclipse of good sense and downfall of ethics for the perverse purpose of courting lunatic rubes for their wallets, I uttered something along the lines of Sean Lock's "Are you mental?!" (from the cab driver asked if free for giving a tiger a night ride) - only, in a discriminatory form that moderators would not approve.
I know it's a joke, but the point of glossy displays isn't being glossy. It's that they let more light through without distortion, which means more brightness and better color accuracy.
The matte layer already damages the light. A glossy film can only make things worse.
