"I do miss the great album art on the old LPs"

I do think that is one of the appeals of vinyl records, the issue of sound quality aside. Handling the album and playing the record on the turn table is a tactile experience and the album covers and liner notes add to the experience-- more so than on a tiny CD, let alone a bodiless digital version.

I guess you can compare it to the preference that many people have for physical books over e-books. It is part of the experience.

Long ago we passed the albums around to decide what to play next. Now we pass around the remote or use the app on the phone to select the next play.

Or ask Alexa/Google.
