It seems the world made a collective yawn about flac. Hard to imagine that would change much with a new format.

I personally keep everything in flac, but Bandcamp is seemingly the only service where that is a given.

Qobuz also offers flac downloads for albums, but also linnrecords does that.

A yawn? Is there any alternative that even has 10% of the mindshare of FLAC?

Just that providers of flac are few and far between. The only reliable source of flac files are those you make yourself.

Why would an Apple user be using flac?

I must've misread the last part of the post. My bad.
