Metadata is used not only in GUI. It's used in debugging, in C# it's also used to mark obsolete API which is done by keyword in D, it's used to control serialization and for example in webservices to mark methods as callable and in proxies to specify namespace and address. Everywhere, where someone makes use of metadata.
