People, including me, had a lot of playlists of ripped cds and downloaded mp3s, all categorized, rated, and with years of play count history.
Then apple fucked everyones libraries up completely in an auto update, destroying the metadata and making them unusable, except for songs bought via apple music that is...
Happend to my father as well, his songs were all over the place with the same albums even sharded over multiple folders etc. A big mess. Left him pretty sour indeed, he had spend a lot of time on it.

"Purposely" seems strong, though. Is it believed that Apple intended this corruption?
It is believed that the bug was ignored or deemed unimportant or worse because of apples preference for users purchasing music via their store, yes.
Still can't get rid of that U2 album I'm guessing
Oh that's easy, just download this extra piece of software which removes the album for you.
