Then don't buy overpriced crap from Apple. I don't, and it makes me sad when I have to support their dysfunctional platform.

APFS is only a developer preview in macOS Sierra, your system will not use it by default. It is meant for production use with the 2017 release.
The filesystem does not seem to include any innovation, it is just catching up to the state of the art. A new filesystem was long overdue ever since ZFS was dismissed.

It's focused on SSDs and encryption, though, so it's modern.

I read that as. We are going to make sure spinning disk performance REALLY sucks this time.
Also from the likes of your pet feature wishlist I'm not sure you are making an informed critique. Apple has withdrawn from the Vulkan group and put serious effort into its own graphics API, Metal. While you may not like that decision, it's no indication of low engineering investment.
