Yes, your ignorance is frustrating.
One of the hardest electrical engineering positions to recruit for is analog design, because unfortunately too many new engineering graduates are totally caught up in a perfect digital world and have no idea how the real world operates. They throw micro-controllers and processors down on a schematic and PCB, or heaven-forbid, a DC-DC with a multi-tap transformer, heck they probably followed the application note faithfully, but then are flummoxed when their creation does not work the way they expect it to. Being a good analog engineer is harder and less forgiving than digital
I am going to guess you are on the "young" side. By your post, you would think you invented digital. Sorry to tell you, but while it is "new" to you and seemingly perfect, real engineers have been working with "digital" for decades and know there is a big difference between transmitting bits, and recreating a high resolution analog signal.
See here is the thing, when my battery is starting to run down in my BT headset, I know .... the sound starts to change. The bits are the same, but the sound coming out, you know that antiquated analog stuff .... ya, that starts to fall apart. I guess I should assume it was one of those "digital" experts that designed the analog section.

I came on hear to ask a simple question about a digital switch and all I get is people trying to show off their extensive but completely irrelevant knowledge of old technology hurling abuse at me to cover their total inability to answer a simple question
I have moved on from analog. All of my source is digital. None of the stuff that several on here are trying to impress me with from their presumably vast experience in analog can change the stream of ones and zeros into a different stream of ones and zeros. No crackles, rumbles, glitches, interference from non-magic cables and power supplies. Nothing, zilch.
I am sorry if the digital revolution has made a lot of your knowledge totally redundant but that is progress.
