My very personal opinion on the subject is that digital has the potential to be a lot better format than an LP, do not judge a foramat by human errors, and the problem is not so simple, you are limiting the quality of the digital formats by a human/era/fashion factor and judging then by that result. If an egineer is not able to get a good digital recording and you get that as an example of it, then I could get one of those flimsy LP made in South America or any other part, as an example as well, see the point....
Bad manufacturing process happen in all worlds, but what is funny is that the world decided to accept as "analog format" IMO the less significant media of that method, the LP, media that easile deteriorates, has tons of background nosie, a S/N ratio very lame, takes a lot fo space, and care, and on top is expensive, also the 1.00 LPS you cna get rarely sound good...an 180grams 45rpm LP is more expensive than a CD...why not taking the R to R or maybe a metal cassette as an analog media, or maybe the master tapes...
Aslo vinyl is not slowly comming back, it was always there, we are rediscovering the labels that made them as it is becoming a very lucrative market for audiophiles, IMO we should be better served into trying to develop better and better digital sources and recording methods and using better professional to do the recordings rather than keep on spending in a dead format...
