I believe most (not all, but most) albums nowadays use the same mastering for cd and vinyl. All from the same digital source.
So the case is indeed often about the ”warmer, friendlier and nicer” feel of the vinyl. Nothing wrong about that, is there? If it feels better for whatever reason, it can’t be THAT bad of a thing. There are worse things in life.

Not the same mastering, but sometimes the same source for mastering.
Vinyl has to be mastered differently, because of the difference in technology (bass frequencies must be enhanced etc.)

Vinyl has morphed out of its niche market and now out sells CDs, particularly in the US.

When a CD has a scuff on the plastic it ruins the entire digital track, whereas you get a pop or one skip on vinyl you can continue playing.

In the last 30 years, I've never had such an issue with CDs because I'm just as careful with CDs as with Vinyl-LPs. Also had no issues with Disc-rot in the same timeframe (except with cheap CD-Rs).
