Well there is of course "that" other thread explaining it
People are different. Some people LOVE working on motorcycles and cars in the garage. To others (like me) that sounds like utter drudgery. It offers me nothing because it doesn't appeal to me. For some people the physical aspects and the demands of vinyl would be a drag, for others it's part of the appeal.
Vinyl tends to sound different in a way that appeals to me, so I still enjoy buying it. And as for new vinyl, the packaging and aesthetics can be just wonderful. For me it's far more exciting receiving, for instance, a new soundtrack in the form of a beautiful cover, artwork, liner notes, and holding the big shiny disc (often some surprising color design) in my hands, getting to interact with my turntable with is a more interesting object to me than a black box DAC or streamer that just sits there. And those are only some of the reasons why I still purchase vinyl. Others include how it encourages me to focus when listening, where digital music is so ubiquitous it feels "background sound" sometimes, and it's so easy to swipe from track to track, I can get distracted. It's like if I'm going to read a book I sometimes need to put my iphone in another room so I'm not instead wanting to keep checking it or surf the internet. Likewise with playing a record, I can unplug from the internet and digital life and not have to keep interacting with my phone, which tends to encourage a distracted state of mind.
It all depends on the individual.
