There are other sites offering hi-quality audio too, the issue has been the tiny catalogues available so far… I suspect the problem probably lies with the record companies more (or as much with) than the stores. If iTunes / Amazon / Google did it they'd have huge amount of music already there. I know iTunes specifically has asked for high quality versions of the files (from record companies) for some time, which then get compressed further for sale, but presumably with the idea that one day they can flip the switch and make everything available in higher quality, a bit like when they went from 128kbps to 256kbps.

I think that the 192Khz 24-bit files Neil Young wants to sell are probably unnecessary overkill for almost everyone, but still… at least he's trying.

I've never actually bought music off iTunes for years, so the sound quality of things bought from there aren't CD quality? That's bunk then.

Probably most people can't tell the difference between a download from iTunes or Amazon and a CD. They're not terrible exactly, but when the price is often similar or even more than the equivalent album on CD it's just silly that they can't sell lossless, truly CD quality files, especially in these days where many of the same companies are offering comparatively huge movie downloads that on average probably get replayed far less often than music albums do...
