Not by the org team, I think. As Scott reports:

I have no issues either on

        macOS Sierra 10.12.5 Emacs.app 25.1.1 Org 9.0.7


AFAICS, the GUI Emacs.app runs as advertised and there is nothing wrong 
with Org.  There are a lot of us who use macOS and Org with no issues with 
M-<left/right>, so it is hard to see how this is an org-mode issue.

Some additional data points:

M-<left> promotes and M-<right> demotes headlines using the usual GUI app.

The Terminal is tricky:

In the Terminal using Emacs.app, with Edit Menu - Use Option As Meta Key 
selected:

I get promote/demote if I use S-<Option Key> <left/right> or C-<Option
Key> <left/right>.

ESC <left/right> runs promote/demote regardless of Option as Meta setting.

<Option Key>-<left/right> runs M-b/f regardless of Option as Meta setting.

Running C-h k <some key combo involving Option> shows that the Terminal 
doesn't see Option as Meta in the way I would expect.

So, if there is a problem on my setup it lies in the Terminal.app or some 
plist that governs it.

HTH,
