I haven't found an objective explanation for why some populations prefer vinyl analog over any digital renditions of a sound. Can anyone share some insight? (I've listened to both, and the description of vinyl or even analog sound as being generally "warmer" never resonated with me.)

It’s a hobby like anything else. Why do people prefer stick/manual to automatic? Same thing imo. It’s just a little more “real” and involved with a hobbyist setup. I do enjoy the sound a little bit better but also the mastering is often different between digital and analog.
Manual transmission has clear advantage in responsiveness. Being used to manual, I've just driven an automatic for three days. Despite having 50% more power than my old car, it felt terribly slow because of the gear shift delays.
I don’t think Ferrari even make manual gearboxes with clutches any more?

For comparison, the dual clutch transmission in the Nissan GT-R can shift in 0.15 seconds and that's a 10+ year old car. The ZF 8HP, which is a conventional torque converter transmission used for example in the new BMW M5, is apparently able to do gear changes in about 0.2 seconds.
Sure, you can have an automatic that is incredibly slushy, but that's not an inherent quality to automatic transmissions.

Btw may be not all human are the same. As said someone meat is ... it is not about human rights. Just music. Let us be different.
Listen differently.

Others have given good replies and I think they're mostly correct. But... >I've listened to both, and the description of vinyl or even analog sound as being generally "warmer" never resonated with me. I feel like this is the sofar unaddressed dimension. I grew up with my grandparents so I've heard a lot of vinyl by virtue of one of them having a love for classical music. When I was younger (29 atm) I felt like the au…

There are some genuine differences, but these are probably only discernible to a relatively small subset of humans, who have genuinely superior hearing to the rest of us - especially as we age. However, to the best of my understanding, the magic of vinyl also has to do with how some individuals consume music. From the appreciation of larger artwork on a physical medium to the act of making time for the process of lis…
The way sound can differ from a digital release is in the mixing. (Since the stylus is physically moving, a mix that’s too “hot” can actually throw the needle off.) This mixing can sound better from a digital release (It could be because these engineers have more practice, or because of those physical constraints). The medium also generally sounds warmer.
As for me personally, I have a handful of records. I don’t really listen to them, but I like supporting the artist, along with having something physical to show off.
