iTunes is one of the best software of all times, you are crazy.
It existed before even OS X was a thing (under another name but still).
It only became "problematic" when they tried to overload it too much to be able to "support" Windows for the iPod/iPhone without having to develop dedicated software.
They largely killed it and the replacement is lackluster. The best version was around version 10-11 with the colorized album view.
To this day there are no audio library management software that come close to what iTunes was.
Apple Music, being a fork, is the closest thing, but it's not really the same thing at all.
