A few more benefits and a distinction to be made
For me, in a very simple way, the metrics layer is a subset of a semantic layer - as you pointed out where the semantic layer is covering a lot more use cases (like entities).
What is in practice the difference between a semantic/metric layer and the old datamarts?
