As an owner of 30+ year old CDs, that isn't necessarily the case. Some of them don't work particularly well these days. I went through a streaming thing for about 10 years but am moving back to physical media now. When I went to re-rip my CDs to FLAC I found some serious issues with a number of CDs which were chock full of errors around the edges. Anyway after this I decided, fuck it, screw reliable storage or buying things on media. I'll buy it in a digital form and keep moving it around in less reliable media (mostly SSDs) until I'm dead. I don't care about ownership. I care about not having to buy things twice and care about things I've bought being taken away. That's slightly different.
