I beg to differ on that. The 30s jazz records that are so wonderful musically still sound like shit nowadays. That's a major deterrent to playing them.

I can't say about the numbers, but I didn't have much trouble finding a phone that took them in April 2021.
In general terms: over the last 50 years, it's never been a terrible move to waste CPU cycles or disk storage. Especially if it's a permanent choice.
