I feel like we're miscommuicating. What I tried to say is that vinyls have vinyl masters and digital formats have digital masters. At least that's how it should be.
Hence, there is a discernible difference between a song if you play it on a vinyl vs. listening to it on a streaming service. F.ex it's probably gonna have less low end on vinyl. Some prefer vinyl masters, but I don't.
I'm just replying to your post here in which you seem to think there's no difference.

What you get today on a vinyl album is likely to be either what you would have got in my day (70s/80s) on an album or what you can get today on CD. Other than aesthetics, or if you're a collector, it makes no sense at all to shell out all that extra money and get nothing that you wouldn't get, sonically or musically, with a CD.

Vinyl releases
are (re)mastered for their particular format, making this statement wrong.
