That assumes sorting will not become cheaper over time. Technology will progress and the cost of raw materials extracted naturally may rise and make landfill mining more economical than dealing with the current waste stream.
Even if the materials were sorted today on the way in, it may not be economical to do anything with them, so storing them in a sorted landfill could make sense.
