I simply do not believe this.
I have a loaded 2017 13" MacBook Pro (i7, 16GB RAM) and iTunes is fine.
A few months before that my machine was the least-powerful 2015 MacBook Air (11", i5) and iTunes was fine on that too.

I'm the same as you however -- I've never had issues with iTunes performance. I don't love the design, I'm glad they're simplifying it, but it always performed better than Spotify for me (which is the main reason I switched actually; I found the Spotify app to be terrible).
Your profile implies that you write software for a living, and you're going with "resolved: works on my machine"? Especially with something that has the breadth of iTunes, along with the vast number of users, I'm most certainly willing to believe that there are cases of iTunes not running well on powerful machinery.
> resolved: works on my machine
Haven't we all thought this at least once in our careers?
We're on a casual forum, all evidence here is anecdotal, and I don't work for Apple, so yeah.
The only thing that pisses me off about it is the ellipsis next to the track names on the song list.
