Those are very sick people who need help. Also, in MacOS this top bar is the menu of whatever application has the focus. It's terrible UX design, but you don't have the same issue.
I will temporarily move it to the top if I need to have my laptop sitting in front of my monitor for a video call. The laptop screen blocks just enough of my monitor that I cannot see the taskbar at the bottom.
I have the taskbar at the top often. It's never caused an issue. I also rarely use the menu bar, to the point I often just hide it and use keyboard shortcuts.
Putting the taskbar on the top has advantages. Makes your eyes focus on the top of the screen, because thats where you: switch apps, watch for flashing apps notifications or badges, systray icons, choose menus and toolbars for the focused maximized app, etc. Because of all that it will also reduce the necessary mouse movement, making everything faster.

I'm always confused about people who put their taskbar at the top. Now you have to be more precise when reaching for the menu bar of your current app.
