More Apple aluminum means more magical/special/superior aluminum to many... like magical Apple RAM and Apple SSD is different & superior to off-the-shelf RAM & SSD priced far lower for same capacities. If you don't have Apple aluminum, you don't have good aluminum. ;)

Getting more of this special Apple aluminum should easily justify another $100+ on the price. "Another record quarter" needs the added revenue. It all "just work$$$"

Doesn't matter how they advertise, sad thing is, that even with the worst explanation/made up excuse every, many people will swallow and - even worse - defend/justify the decision.
Or even worse, buy the product. If you believe this is a step down, vote with your $$$.

I know this is the least important thing, but I'm planning to upgrade this year and I'm hoping it has a more interesting colour options. It's been a while since they've done a dark green, maybe. Or a new shade of blue. Something more than just shades of grey, silver, and, gold/bronze.
