Not Compatible with what exactly? It works on my 20 year old ipod using rockbox, any modern players should support it.
Tons of legacy devices. Old car infotainment systems, old "smart" TVs, old players that don't have Rockbox ports, etc.
It's probably still more efficient to keep a 192k opus and a 320k mp3 around than one flac.
Quite possible, yeah haha
Rockbox is a bad benchmark due to its insane versatility. Just because modern players "should" support something doesn't mean the manufacturer put the work in to do so, or even do it well.
That said, when I buy a portable music player the decision is always based on whether or not there's a Rockbox port for it.
