An MP3 file at around 300kbps should be pretty much indistinguishable from FLAC for a human, so that's not surprising at all :)
The reason why I keep my music library as FLAC is not because it sounds better - it's because it's a perfect lossless copy of the original source that can be encoded to something lossy should a need arise. If I had to make 128kbps Opus files for some mobile use case, I'd rather do that from FLACs than MP3s. It also avoids double lossy compression when using things like A2DP.
