Your first two points are noted. I would like to point out though, that several years ago I tried to rip my CD collection onto a hard drive, and frankly it was more of a PITA than it was worth. I gave up after about 1/3 of the way through. There's also the issue of hard drives crashing.
Your third point may or may not be true. Many CD players have digital inputs that accept higher resolution. Especially SACD players. Also, most have a digital out so one can still get a separate DAC if desired. That said, newer is not always better.
As for convenience, I've addressed that to some degree. I do have to wonder why you have to dust off your discs. Is loading a disc really too much work for you? Very few of mine have scratches, only ones that have been in a slot loader, and I don't do that any more.
I have nothing against streaming, downloading, and hard drives, but they are not for everyone. Perhaps when I retire, and have more time on my hands.
