So heres some of my personal audio engineer experiences.
They were telling us to record in the highest sample rate possible in 2013 to future proof our music in school
One of my friends is a sony engineer and he just records 44.1 24bit because sony doesnt really care about high resolution so neither does he. (At least at the mixing/mastering level, they are all happy to dumb hi rez stickers on everything though)
So lets put it this way. The industrial and acoustic engineers are pushing the tech for hi rez audio.(ez marketing and product value)
The recording engineers really dont care because the music recording division highers ups dont care.(most people are listening to ogg vorbis on spotify lol)
This is just my personal experience in the industry. There is a disconnect at a lot of big labels. They havent realized they can sell the music for double by just having the engineers change a check box at the start of the sesson.
