Yes, there is: the pearl-clutching hysteria of vinylphiles whenever the word 'digital' appears.
I'm not sure that's a fair characterisation of what it's all about. In general, older mass-release records sound better than modern mass-release records, with the former having an all-analogue provenance and the latter involving a digital step somewhere along the line. Sure, some modern vinyl that's been knocked up for mass release does sound pretty good. But in general, older records sound better.
There's almost certainly no going back to mass-release records with an all-analogue provenance, obviously so when it comes to reissuing records from half a century ago and whatnot, so a niche market exists whereby people can still buy records that have an all-analogue provenance, as long as they're prepared to pay the premium that comes with the territory.
Mobile Fidelity, a key player in this niche market, deliberately chose not to tell their customers that they were actually cutting records from digital files. Indeed, they went as far as to spell out the cutting process in such a way that its customers could only draw the one, same conclusion: that its records were wholly analogue in provenance.
Simply put, the product they were selling was not as advertised; sure, that might be for a court of law to decide in the end, but Mobile Fidelity knew what they were doing by not being transparent with its customers. That highly mastered apology from Jim Davis mentioned the use of vague language and allowing false narratives to propagate, but that seems a tad exculpatory: at least one person at Mobile Fidelity or the parent company, Music Direct, made the decision that that particular information should remain a company secret. Only when they got busted did they admit the truth about the secret digital step.
Regardless of how puritan or evangelical some record collectors can be when it comes to buying records with an all-analogue provenance, it doesn't change the fact that Mobile Fidelity has done what it's done - such record collectors are simply customers, not CEO in control of Mobile Fidelity or Music Direct.
