The biggest problem CD has is that the players have finite lives. We return to vinyl because there are very fine players both vintage and modern and that is what continues to drive manufacture and sale of vinyl.
The second biggest problem is that the contents of a CD can be copied and played without either the CD or a player involved. This is fundamentally different to vinyl in that it is possible to have in your possession the contents of a CD, complete with artwork without physically having that CD or a CD player.
In short, we need and have players to play vinyl. We don't need CD's or players to enjoy what a CD can do.
