I do both, but I would argue that text has one major advantage over advantage over audio recordings: it's cheaper, which means that there are many works that don't make the jump from text to audio. Pragmatically, if you restrict what you consume to what you can get in audio, you limit what you can access. Worse still, it isn't even an equal distribution. Popular fiction tend to dominate most audiobook stores, which makes sense due to its broad appeal. It does seem like this is slowly shifting and good TTS might even make it irrelevant in the future, but for most people consuming via audio only means leaving a lot of material unavailable.
