Because CD is banal -- not as romantic/collectible/historical as vinyl, and not as conventient as mp3.

this is exactly what I don't get. Why is a CD made in 2015 less romantic than an LP made in 2015 ?

Vinyl's awkwardness and the rituals around it are a way of expressing dedication to music and expression dedication to music is a way of differentiating yourself.
Vinyl use (or often just purchase and displat) has become the mark of someone who takes music seriously / passionately. My experience is that many people, especially the young like to signal that way.
No, but it can still be quite pleasant. Same way we like saturated constrasty pics or even distorted guitars.
>Personally I have enough physical stuff already, and I want less, not more.
OTOH, a vinyl collection makes for a nice rustic touch to a mostly empty, mostly-digital, minimalist house.
