In terms of MQA being just another file format you are right. However MQA is not offered as such but as away to stream or to otherwise deliver the equivalent of the hi-rez file resolutions you have listed but within a low-rez wrapper. Its other purpose is to offer a way of improving the end to end accuracy of the recording process including legacy material (they say).
As I believe that Joe Public doesn't really give a hoot one way or the other I think that its commercial success in the consumer market will mirror that of better than MP3 streaming. I remain doubtful of the latter long term if it involves a significant premium over "standard" subscription costs or an additional investment in hardware.
