I've been listening to records since the late 50s (78s then) and then vinyl once it emerged. I think there are two arguments here, one of sonics, and the other related to hobby interests.
As to sonics, I believe the best digital systems today can equal but not top the best vinyl rigs. There is something I can't explain however. I have both although neither are close to SOTA. I do most of my listening these days after the day's activities end as my last enjoyment prior to bed. When I listen to digital I stop because I get bored. When I listen to vinyl, despite the frequent up and down to change/flip the records, I stop when I realize I'm falling asleep.
There is something therapeutic about analog sound that relaxes me that digital simply lacks. I can't explain it.
As to hobby interests, I choose to not pursue the best in digital gear because how to maximize the choices of setup never seems to stop. I've worked in IT all my career and when I get home I don't want to even approach anything computer related.
I imported my few hundred CDs into iTunes years ago only to quickly discover I didn't pick the best format and that still is debatable today. Every digital setup I've seen seems to be a different approach to what pieces parts make up the solution. Analog has always been table, cartridge, phono preamp, and maybe a SUT. It has never changed in all this time. There are different approaches to table designs, but not that many.
I also like that no software/licensing agreements/ are involved. I own every LP I ever bought and chose to keep and none of them has ever needed to be given a software upgrade.
