I'll post a slightly different viewpoint.
I started with CD's, not vinyl, as I bought my first system just after college. We have a reasonably extensive digital collection but have not had a CD player in 10 years now.
And, in 2020, in the midst of COVID, bought a turntable set-up. EAT C-major, Ortofon Black MM, using on-board Bryston phono stage - so a decent but by no means exorbitant system.
Why? it is enjoyable to play, to collect, and the sound quality can be astonishingly good, even in a modest set-up. So, we will curate a smallish, carefully selected vinyl collection. An evening treat, not a mainstay. Well worth it.
