Nobody loves CDs any more and I don’t get it.
Anecdotally, I see more and more stores that sell music now carry CDs.
Just yesterday I saw an entire wall of new-release CDs at a Barnes and Noble bookstore.

Yeah, I’m sort of hopeful it’ll experience a similar resurgence to vinyl.
Despite being terminally online for literally decades now I never got out of CDs just because it always bugged me that I could buy a physical copy with better (or, nowadays, usually equivalent) sound quality for the same or less money than the MP3 (or whatever format) album.
I’d then invariably rip to a compressed format for convenient on the go listening but, in 20 odd years, I’ve bought maybe half a dozen albums digitally, and half of those have been simply because no other format is available. (For context, I have maybe 700 albums on CD but I lost accurate count some years ago so it could well be more.)
