Regarding Bandcamp, where most of the music of interest to me gets
released these days, you very well might get a high-res download
without comment (as opposed to Qobuz or Presto, which always(?)
have separate prices), but the "streaming" part doesn't appear to
be high-res. At least not sometimes.

I've been paying a little more attention to exactly what the DIY
new music community is putting out, whether over Bandcamp, or sending directly to me for review, and there's variety in both the 16bit &
24bit resolutions. (I haven't seen anything but 16bit or 24bit
recently, although I believe the height of the CD era saw some 20bit releases, if I recall correctly....)
I'm continuing to see a majority of 24bit, and most of the sampling
rates are 48khz. This is unsurprising, since that is the nominal
resolution of both the Iphone & Google Pixel. But I've also seen
e.g. 44khz at 24bit (not 44.1! but also 44.1...) & of course 96khz
(not 192 outside classical...). There was also a 16bit recording
with 96khz sampling, a strange choice. And now a 16bit at 48khz
(i.e. very similar to CD, but not).... This was all since this
thread, within the past couple of weeks....
And while DIYers put out music at the resolutions they want, we can
probably expect "major labels"/classical to continue to milk it for
whatever money they can squeeze....

Isn't that what I was arguing?

I'd guess the variety of formats has to do with inexpensive recording >equipment available, ie, Zoom H4 at 24/96 and intended use.
