If they did, it would likely be a collector thing.
What would they even put them in?

I would prefer a record tbh.
If it's one of my favourite artists; I'd prefer a vinyl. If it's not; it's easy finding flacs online both legally (bandcamp/iTunes) and illegally (piracy); so I'd prefer a different merchandise even if I wanted their merch.
I'm old but ages ago, venues changed their contracts around so they get all the money from cd's sold at concerts. Until I found that out, I did sometimes buy them to support the band. I also sometimes bought downloads from Bandcamp, which apparently went evil a year or so ago. Idr the specifics though, except a lot of staff got sacked.
I‘m not young but at almost all shows that I go to, the artists sell vinyl, some sell tapes and CDs as well. I like to buy vinyl directly from the artists so that I know where the money goes. There are also younger folks who buy vinyl but it’s mostly older people who buy CDs
Yeah, every concert I go to I try to get at least a CD, maybe a vinyl or T-shirt if they were sold out.
I don't intend wasting space with a CD player
They sell vinyl pretty often. CDs are a dead end tech though. They might be romanticized in the future like laserdisc and cassette but not nearly as much as vinyl.
I'm not a "younger person" but I do still buy a lot of music within a specific genre. Although most of it is digital as that is what I prefer I have bought music in the past few years on vinyl, cassette, CD and USB. So artists are still producing physical media all be it in smaller quantities.
The last gig I went to earlier this year the merch stand was mainly t-shirts but there were some CDs to be seen, these were bands of "our era" though that I went to see in my teens (early 00s) so maybe they are just holding on to the way things used to be done, I can't speak for any newer bands.
Am a data hoarder with a shitton of flac yet I still buy cds. (And blue ray/dvds). It's really about owning things and not losing acess on the whim of some random contracts between copyright holders.
Naah, maybe a bakelit disc tho.
This might answer some of your questions. Music isn’t the same. It’s mass produced entertainment that we can browse at our fingertips with infinite options. Music devalued itself by being so accessible and throwaway.
