WRONG WRONG WRONG. The vinyl being produced today is mostly reissues of the finest recordings, both musically and sonically, on very high quality thick virgin vinyl for the best possible sound quality.
About 99 percent of these masters are ANALOG not digital because those are the best and these recordings are GREAT MUSIC not just boring demos no one wants to hear. The main reason they are economically viable is that the original LPS are rare and valuable in excellent or better condition so the $20-$30 for a good reissue seems like a bargain the discriminating music lover.

And few recordings (mostly digital in origin) are available in vinyl, a lot of the Audiophile label recordings are esoteric and are designed primarily to display the capabilities of ones system when having your audiophile friends over for a listening session. :-) It's akin to handing out your visiting photo pals loupes and lens test chart images shot on 4x5 sheet film. Very impressive but boring as bat sh*t.
