It is the same with vinyl.
Sound quality is a lot better on digital formats.

And also with teletext as teletext art seems to be riding this old format nostalgia wave.

One thing people like with vinyl is often the warmer sound. Or I would argue a bit more muffled sound. Digital mixing can often be a little too strict and harsh.
Equally you also get older recordings with more highlighted instruments whilst when processing music for digital mediums everything is often flattened out evenely so your slightly higher volume of drums in the band that you hear on vinyl may not be as loud on a ditgital recording.

And people don't always want that so-called 'perfect' digital sound.
At the peak of the cassette tape, which had the better sound quality - vinyl or cassette tape?
