It is not much different for movies...
A lot of folks say that a "real" film (shot on analog film) with a noticeable amount of grain looks much more natural than a soap opera shot on video (which is often characterized as having a "plastic" look).

I am old enough to remember when the audio CD appeared. I still have the first Sony CD player in mint condition. And all of a sudden the shortcomings of vinyl were declared as virtues. Warm analog distortion, tube distortion, magnetic tape saturation, you name it. Look at the countless effects plugins for mastering which try to recreate this kind of analog distortion.

For every advance in technology you will see some kind of backlash where the good old times are glorified. Nothing can be done about it...
