So, I’m not sure about most of this guy’s arguments, but one major argument I side with fully is with CDs, and also vinyl too for that matter, you actually own your stuff and no one can randomly break into your house and take it away from you.

Also, if you rip your CDs to FLAC and keep the physical copies on a shelf but listen to the FLAC rips, you have a ‘master disc’ of sorts to go back to and re-rip should your FLAC rips ever go bad or get lost, plus those FLAC rips can be transcoded to high-bitrate lossy copies for use on space-constrained DAPs, eg. transcoding to 510kbit/s Opus for that purpose.
