Most of the titles I buy are on CD. The only exceptions (and they are very few) are when the physical title is unavailable or at least very difficult to get hold of.

- The music is uncompressed

- You may get some artwork which is part of the package the artist wishes to present to the fan/listener

- You're not lining the pockets of the likes of Apple or even worse Spotify who treat music as a service to sell and not as an art form to be respected leaving some artists feeling that they're treated with utter contempt and with minimal recompense

So I will rip my uncompressed CD at a bitrate of my choice and copy it to a mobile device/storage to listen to in the car, gym or wherever. I'm not paying some download or streaming service again to pay for the same thing twice.
