Yep. It's so insidious, stupid, and destructive. Every recording artist and consumer has superb fidelity available, and yet today's music sounds like absolute shit. I have 45s from the '80s whose sound quality utterly destroys all-digital masters from the last decade. And that's not a digital-vs.-analog thing; I can make MP3s out of those 45s that will still destroy "lossless" versions of the same song on Apple Music.
