I don't buy vinyl because I don't have a record player, nor do I want to dedicate space to it. My apartment is large by NYC standards, but not that large.
However, I do buy music (usually via bandcamp) directly from musicians I like. I don't really use spotify or other streaming services, and I certainly won't pay a monthly rental fee for music.
I like having a collection. I like being able to keep it forever. I like that I can have a brief, personal connection with the musician (via the message box in bandcamp, or at the merch table at a show).
But it's not for everyone. People have different ways of relating to music. Some people just don't care that much about the individual album or musician.
