Why not both?

MP3 is more widely supported than any lossless audio codec. Lossless compression enables the collector to keep an original.

Not everyone is a collector though - for them, MP3 is probably fine, and if they need a different format later they'll probably just stream, re-encode, or re-purchase, in order of likelihood.
