I seriously doubt...

... that any storage format would motivate anyone to improve recording quality if they weren't already of a mind to do so. We've had improvements in recording formats and equipment for years and years that have done nothing to improve the bulk of recordings.

In fact, the limitations of the LP format (side length, bass limits, overall modulation levels, etc.) actually forced engineers to pay extra attention to recording quality. We didn't have the loudness wars until some industry types figured out that the CD would support continuous max volume. Hence, the advantages of the CD actually enabled the loudness wars.
