First, the labels ARE selling master quality downloads, through Pono, HDTracks, Qobuz, ProStudioMasters, etc. Are you uninformed about this?I have purchased many through those channels. If you consider covering perhaps 1% of the musical catalog "wide support", then we agree.
My day job is supply chain management. Providing the ability to download everything is they key. It's the infrastructure they use which could be instantly converted to any high resolution format. Using people to pick, pack and ship physical media that must be inventoried is a costly and failed model. All one has to do is view the latest RIAA statistics.
edit: Unfortunately, for the vast majority of music I purchase, I must purchase and rip CDs - used where possible since I never use the CD once I've ripped the content.
