It seems like MQA is a brand new lossless compression algorithm, just like FLAC or Apple Lossless..... I'd wonder where the difference lies..... Maybe better optimized for streaming.

No, you understand incorrectly. MQA is not lossless. It is a lossy system. However, the "loss" starts from a higher than CD resolution. The claim is to get all of the "audible" benefits of true high resolution audio while using only slightly more bandwidth an a basic CD.
Of course, all digital formats are "lossy" when compared against an original analog signal. A FLAC version of a WAV file may losslessly reproduce WAV file, but neither version can represent the analog original perfectly.

a solution to a problem that will disappear over time as bandwidths increase around the globe. Why bother getting involved with yet another proprietary format, of questionable advantage?

MQA is a 21st century Dynagroove. (I guess this dates me.)
