I don't think I ever took any lecture notes at all in the entirety of my CS education at Carnegie Mellon, long before COVID. Everything the professors taught was in slides that were published online, or in the best cases, full fledged PDF lecture notes that explained everything in detail and were published online.

This makes it significantly easier to pay attention during lectures. Denying your students work that you have already done is ridiculous. Whether or not a student wants your lecture notes is orthogonal to whether they come to lecture.
