Yep. And despite our best efforts, nobody can hear the difference
between 48khz/24 bit audio and 96khz/24 bit audio. The difference
between 16 bit and 24 bit audio can be heard... but not so much on
bluetooth earbuds! Attempts to make 10 channel audio more popular
(like Atmos) appeal to a very narrow market.

Belshe's paper on "more bandwidth doesn't matter (much) from 2008:
