What you suspect are indeed the reasons.
A good hi-res streaming service does not come free. Main candidates are either Qobuz or Tidal but you will need a DAC that will process <24/192 (Qobuz) or is MQA capable (Tidal). At this level streaming can be equal or superior to CDs.
This is a big subject and there is a lot to go into. However if paying a monthly subscription is beyond you then I would stick with your CDs and LPs.

Well I can afford something like a Schitt at $99 or a Dragonfly. And I might be able to afford a streaming service though it's always nice to get stuff free. I'll check those out, thanks!

It's never too late to turn back the clock.
I was listening to Qobuz today via my Schiit Modi 3 and Stax SRM-252II / SR-003 Mk2 earphones (I also use SR202 at times). The sound quality was excellent.
I have yet to hear any difference playing anything above 16/44.1 so I have the quality set to 16/44.1.
