I have seen posts here that even claim LP and digital to sound so close that it doesn’t matter. So, someone found it controversial.
Not sure who you are referencing but that wouldn't represent what I've written.
One of the things I like about vinyl is that it does tend to sound different from digital, so obviously I don't find it controversial.
Of course as to "how different" vinyl will sound will vary on a case by case basis. Sometimes very different, sometimes less so, but always different to some degree. As I've said before when I've compared certain LPs that came from the same original master as the CD version, the sonic difference was surprisingly small, with each version displaying excellent sound quality. But a difference was still there, so it becomes up to an individual how much of a difference "matters" to them. The differences can still matter to me in terms of choosing which one I'll tend to play: I sometimes prefer the vinyl version even when the sound is quite close to the digital version - and sometimes I prefer the digital version.
