Damn near everything is glossy
Yeah, hate it too.
Welcome to the Apple world. Style and "great movie experience" over usability.
My son has the £1800 Imac. Great for media playback but there is no way you can use it for any "work" if there are windows anywhere behind you.
Most laptops have gone that way too.
But Thinkpads are still mostly matt. Very usable. The downside of that is you don't get very good colours for image editing, playing movies, etc.
