I just searched all 27 inch monitors I could find on Amazon.ca which claimed a glossy monitor. I found all of them were anti-glare screens. Actually, there's one where I couldn't find the information but I'm guessing from what I saw that it's also matte finish.

True full glossy/glare displays are exceedingly rare.
My QD-OLED is for example glossy but only comparatively to full matte display or even semi-glossy displays - otherwise it is itself not quite full glossy either.

For my sensibilities this is not a bad thing but I understand why someone would want just true glossy display. For now I guess the only option is to try to remove AG coating and hope it won't ruin panel like it will for sure ruin monitor's warranty.

On monitors it is. Glossy is common on televisions. QD-OLED TVs like the A95L use PDC, though, which gives blacks a purplish tint.
 
My issue is I can tell the anti-glare screens give a slightly darker image. Glossy is brighter, more vibrant.
 
The issue with matte screens is the pixel blur and fuzziness.

Regardless of what anyone says, it's extremely obvious at normal viewing distance, and makes an image look soft and dull
