Personally, as soon as people don't claim it sounds "better" I have no issue with it.
(The caveat, of course, is that some recordings only release properly mastered version on vinyl. Nothing stops the recording company to release the same version on digital media, they just don't.)
This is a pet peeve of mine, releases that happen only on vinyl (and, with a moment of perversity, cassette). Yes, let's use a medium that degrades with each use.
I have resorted to, for those situations where I cannot plead the masters out of the sound engineers, buying the still sealed, unplayed record where available so that it can be converted to digital while it is still pristine.
I play my records like crazy, some are new heavy vinyl, but most is crappy 70s and 80s vinyl. And I have never noticed the supposed drop in quality the usage is supposed to inflict on them. I think the stories might be overblown.
