I've just thought of an explanation why some 2L axles have a notches a

I also found that almost all pieces I bought in the last 3 years have less grip
than my 10 years old pieces before dark age.  Everything from 1x1 plate to
gears.  The 16t gear in particular shown significent difference.  With a new
16t I can plug and remove an axle easily, while the two old ones from my 8845
would requires 10x more force to remove an axle.
