I couldn't agree more :)

That's correct.
Basically, what happens in that in GUI mode, the ESC key is not recognized as META in org-mode (only as far as I can tell).

Also, my macOS version of emcs is built using brew install and not brew cask install, so it is built from the git repo and not using the macforosx binaries the cask version uses. 

This morning I have installed emacs from macport (emacs-app-devel) and I've also built it from the repository (./configure with-ns).

In the locally build version Esc-Left promotes a header. But Esc-Right does not demote it, it only moves to the next word.

Macport emacs shows the same behavior as brew emacs: in GUI, Esc is not recognized as Meta.

Weird.
