I think it's a preference for good production values.
Overall, I think music production quality declined hugely in the 1980s, then recovered in the 1990s, and then declined again with the loudness wars and MP3s. Those trends primarily affected digital formats.
It's no use having a technically superior playback format if the "professionals" keep butchering the music. Aside from a small handful of classical labels and audiophile remasterings, there aren't many well produced albums anymore. Especially in the pop & rock genres.
A case in point is Daft Punk's Random Access Memories. This is widely considered to be one of the best recorded & produced pop titles to come out in a long time, and the LP release has greater dynamic range than the CD and hi-res releases!
As a hi-res digital fan who long ago gave up a vinyl rig, I feel like a chump having to sift through the piles of chaff on HDTracks searching for kernels of wheat while the vinyl guys seem to get all the love and care.

You basically said the same thing I said (we were probably typing at the same time) but with far less words. Well done.
