RE: From the outset

Except its niche marketing.

The overwhelming number of new releases may be recorded in hi-res, but they're not going to be made available in 24/96. If the masses saw value in hi res, they'd be demanding that all new releases have a hi res version available for purchase/download/whatever.

With more of the buying public listening on portable devices rather than a decent home stereo setup, hi res doesn't make sense for them. My daughters like the personal nature of streaming off Spotify, and sharing their favorites with friends. Even though I've offered to pay for family subscriptions to hi res music services, they begged to keep Spotify.

Hard to make money with lots of players in a niche market.
