That bothers me less, as finding a device to play CD music is very hard and expensive now.
Also the CDs will degrade in another decade to worthlessness, unlike books

I have a whole drawer full of barely used cdrom drives from decommissioned office PCs to play my audio discs, in case my Philips Player from 1995 is worn down -- didn't even need a repair yet, so no real worries... Additionally the CDs get backuped as FLACs.
I don't see what's "hard" with that approach. Most new releases still get presses as CDs.
Pressed CDs - which most of them are (pressing is much cheaper in quantity) will generally last well. Record able CDs (like you buy from the individual artist won't last much longer.
Either way though I have long since ripped my CDs to my NAS system. I keep the CDs in storage so if someone says copyright I can prove fair use as I still own the media.
