I think you answered your own question Nathan ;-)

Why dumbing down? If there is one thing Apple is good at, then it is 
designing products their customers like. I guess Aperture was not doing well 
in the marketplace, and I suspect most people want simple functionality, 
synchronization across devices etc. They certainly do not care about layers, 
masks and whatnot. 

This does not affect me in any way, as I have been a Lightroom user since it 
first came out, and I see absolutely no reason to contemplate anything else.

Cheers,
Nathan
