Currently archives often store audio uncompressed, in broadcast wave format. This results in much more e-waste, shelf space required etc. But they can't switch to just any lossless codec, they need one that can still be decoded 50+ yea

Opus (or other lossy codecs) try to minimize the perceptible loss. The phase can be completely different, so compressing the difference results in the same size as compressing the original... But you'll need to store the opus bit too.
