Using lossless audio with AirPods is still preferable. Rather than re-encoding a lossy stream with another lossy codec, you only encode it once. Is it minor? Yeah. Can I actually hear it on AirPods? No. But it's not entirely moot.

This is true. It's better than nothing, but the price they are asking for ($549) for a top tier headset that CANT do hi-res audio is offensive if you know what you are looking for.
