I can see that viewpoint. The issue there is of the ~40 IRL people I know and regularly talk to, not a single one of them has a clue what you just said. Normie’s understand “CD have media. CD go in player and worky”.
Files are great for us super nerds. But here’s the issue. Now you have a storage medium that then needs to be plugged into a PC of some sort, now you have an os of some sort and possibly internet on said device, Now you need a media player, now you need a DAC to send it to your stereo/headphones etc.
Good point, CD are easier to use. But to be honest, people around me all know how to install a program or put mp3 in the music folder, from my grandparents to my younger brother, and they’re not nerds. I can see how it could be a problem if there was a little less tech literacy though.

For me, CD go in and worky is peak.

Maybe you aren’t american. The tech literacy where I am is so utterly low I’m baffled people can sustain day to day life.
