Do the new MacBook Pros have antireflective coating?

Please explain why that's a good thing. Even the iPad mini has antireflective coating
Yes, it does. Every glass Mac screen has since the original Retina models.
They don't bother to list it anymore on the iMac or MBP because there's no glass-screen Mac model that doesn't. They bother listing it on, say, the iPad, because it marks a distinction between the Pro models and the $329 9.7". In the same vein, they also don't bother to note that the MBP screen is laminated even though it is.

The comment might be because they have had past issues with the anti-reflective coating on their displays. But it is still there.

They have it, but it’s not a matte screen. The MBP has rather good anti reflective properties because of the coating but moreso because of its construction.
