To add, as a vinyl enjoyer, it's also that putting on a record is a deliberate action. I'm putting it on with the intent to listen and enjoy it vs. most often when I open up Apple Music it's just background noise while I'm working on other things, where I just hit shuffle on my 10k song+ library. When I put on a record it's because I want to sit with it and listen to that specific album.

Plus there's the aspect of actually owning your media and not simply leasing it with a monthly subscription.

Many (or at least some) vinyl record albums were also not just a collection of 10 tracks but were crafted to be a complete experience. You listened to the album not just one song. With streaming being the predominant way music is consumed now, people mostly just listen to one song by one artist before bouncing to something randomly selected to be next in their playlist.
