It seems bizarre that at the same time the equipment industry is pushing high resolution music, the recording industry is working hard to minimize the actual musicality of its products.

I listen almost exclusively to acoustic music (classical, folk, jazz). So it's distressing to hear that the latter is now getting on the compression bandwagon. And you're right: how ironic to push hi-res, with the potential for hearing much more of what the artists intended, and then squeeze the life out of the artists' creations.
