RE: Many reasons...

I think we're just talking past each other a little--no big deal. As has been pointed out, those analog master tapes would surely have been digitized at some point anyway. True enough. You suggested, I think, that archiving is one reason they would do that--again, true enough. But they've apparently accelerated the rate at which that work is being done, and MQA is the end point (via, I'm sure, 192/24). So, they're doing the archival digitizing now, fast, and then transcoding to MQA. There's no reason to do that last step if archiving is the goal.
