At least part of the so-called 'vinyl revival' is down to people who buy records purely to have records, often for display on shelves and walls as a way of advertising their love not only for a specific band or album but also perhaps analogue music in general.
Plenty of people in hi-fi turn their noses up at such behaviour, perhaps even snootily branding its proponents as 'hipsters', but I see it slightly differently. Sure, it would be even better if this vinyl was being spun on a turntable from time to time, but buying vinyl and never listening to it is much better than buying no vinyl at all.
