Because all listeners are not the same. I for one, have two high quality listening systems (one is in the form of high end sound card, and other in the form as a proper Hi-Fi system), and am a former symphony orchestra player.
I personally appreciate the added resolution of lossless files and love to listen my favorite albums in lossless formats. When one gives the time and ear deserved by an album, the perception is very different, and the added resolution on the highs add a lot of immersion to the album in question.
I have a spotify membership, and it's convenient, yes. But it's not same as "listening to music" for me. Not close.
Also, opening your Spotify playlist and seeing some of your favorite songs missing due to license expiration is not nice. Been there, seen that.
Same for movies, but I'm not that of a movie nerd.
