I don't know what industry factors are of such concern. Certainly CD sales are not what they use to be, but the market still exists. Artists still release CDs, and Vinyl has made a comeback. People still desire a physical product which substantiates the work with intimacy.
A digital product offers economy and convenience, but vaporizes a full connection to the music. I compare it to reading a digital e-book -- it's a sterile experience in comparison to holding a book in your hands. It's the tactile act - the manual turning of the pages, the smell of the paper...a physical and visual presence that makes you have a more intimate relationship with the work.
