It's not really a question of digital "not doing its job" if that has anything to do with reproducing high quality music.

It largely has to do with other factors such as:

1. Nostalgia and nurturing fond memories of yore
2. Leveraging existing equipment investment
3. OCD enjoyment of the playback ceremony of looking at, handling, cleaning, and cueing vinyl
4. Collector status of large physical media with artwork

I'm in no hurry to sell or replace my collection of forty years and still have two turntables, but then I haven't purchased a new title in years. Especially since all of them would be digitally sourced, why?

I was in Chicago a couple of weeks ago and visited a cool record store that actually had some new content including a soundtrack that I already have in 24/44. I just couldn't think of a good reason to buy it.
