Then let us ask the serious question:

Why would the people who designed the US digital radio system
actually write an "upsampling" system (called "spectral
band replication" into the US standard?

It's part of HE-AAC, which had a lot of research go into hiding extreme
digital losses. It's a smoke and mirrors trick, except for your ears.
If you hear the music for the first time with HE-AAC it sounds passable.
If you hear the lossless version first then HE-AAC, it's obvious that
it's not right.
