It seems like most of the iTunes hate has historically come from people who used iTunes on Windows because they needed to use it to sync their iPods. Apparently it wasn't very good on Windows?

I do agree that it had been getting worse and worse on Mac before it was rebranded "Music" in 2019.

iTunes on Windows was horrible and it was even more horrible when trying to use it for managing Apple devices. Obscure errors, convoluted error mesages, slow... I will never miss it. One of the worst software ever created and I'm glad it's dead. I like Music.app under macOS though as someone who used MusicBee under Windows.
