Default HD RADIO is no worse than DAB or DRM radio

That will millions of radios obsolete. Don't think that will happen.
IBOC will die first...

Digital radio hasn't done that - it has been poor from day one, and to
be better than its predecessor it will need to get a whole heap better
What do you believe will be the basis of that improvement?


Well FM-Hybrid Digital *already* sounds better than the old analog
FM. The AM also sounds better, albeit at the loss of hearing distant
stations (which can still be done via internet streaming).


Both of these will dramatically improve after the analog shutdown (FM
will have room for 300 kbps per station).


What Analog Shut Down ?


The plan is to kill the analog signals and go strictly digital.
