I can appreciate the appeal of physical copies, but if it's hindering your enjoyment then why not just listen to digital copies? The vinyl records are probably being scribed from a digital version, anyway.
Not OP, but I generally do listen to most of my music via streaming these days but it sucks: it's not immersive, sound quality is garbage and I miss the ritual of examining the art and liner notes while listening. When you listen to an LP you're more invested in it because you paid for it and also because you're in proximity to the record being payed and you're physically interacting with it. you end up listening to the songs in the context and sequence that they're supposed to be listened to.
I know that a lot of this is intangible, but there is value in it
