The only reason why sound quality would be "worse" on CD than on vinyl was already mentioned: It sometimes is, or at least used to be, intentionally mastered with less dynamic range. There is no way vinyl can otherwise compete with CDs dynamic range of 96dB at up to 22kHz. But I get your point, the way a vinyl record and its player make the sound "worse" can potentially enhance the listening experience, even if a sound engineer could have applied the same effect on the audio that got put on the CD. Like a CRT screen with old video games.
