this is not exactly true.
before digital recordings you had records. before records you had sheet music. sheet music was sold for a couple centuries, and any good home had various sheet music collections for the family to play on piano or guitar or violin or whatever instruments the fammily had. sure, they were creating the music themselves, but they owned it, and it became treasured.
of course the enjoyment of music does not depend on the format, but the source for the music does add aesthetics. the aesthetics of a vinyl platter, and the sleeve and the care that must be taken not to damage it, all add to the experience. easy to get, easy to forget I say.
