Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?

I'm curious why you still play CDs in the age of streaming. I recently got back into CD listening and I'm curious if your reasons align with mine, which are:

Enjoying the physical medium—the tactile nature of the case, the disc, the booklet, etc.
Forcing myself to actually listen to an album, versus being easily distracted by an algorithm, or "what's next" in my playlist.
Actually owning the music I purchase, versus being stuck with yet another monthly subscription.

Others?

Unlike streaming, CDs are digital music that Has not been compressed and expanded. Every time a program is compressed and expanded there are losses. I’ve experienced this several times and it’s really disturbing.
