CD is still the only way to buy a digital popular music in most countries.

No it's not. The iTunes Music Store is available in the majority of countries in the world. Plus there are other services that cover some of the other countries. Vanishingly few people can choose only a CD.

The music on iTunes is compressed and doesn’t sound as good as a CD does.

Not to mention they can revoke your access to your music on iTunes. No one can take away your CD unless they break into your house!

iTunes got rid of DRM a decade and a half ago.

Sure but if you don’t have the song downloaded on your PC and they remove it from your library you can’t redownload it.

Most people aren’t backing up the songs they buy on iTunes.

Thank goodness they’ll let you redownload your CD if it gets damaged…
