I haven't noticed the loss of manually input metadata in my iTunes library but I have to admit that I haven't used iTunes a lot since playing with Roon. The cool thing with Roon was that it discovered my iTunes library with no user intervention at all and built it's own database to manage. I believe it also pulls in a lot of metadata from it's own service over the internet. For example, missing album art in my iTunes library magically appears in Roon. ;-)
I read a recent stat that mostly agrees with what you said about Mac revenue being fairly small in the grand scheme of things for Apple, but I also read (and have a chart somewhere) that shows MacBook Pro sales far exceeding other laptops in the past few quarters. But, laptop sales are probably a fraction of what we see for smartphones and tablets these days across the board.
I'm happy with my 13" 2012 MacBook Pro. My wife has a newer 2015. We see no reason to upgrade at the moment as they both work perfectly, like the day we bought them.
