They may have enough money to do this, but U2 is not only a band, it's a business. And like all businesses, U2 wants to make moves that will make them money. This move will not make them any money, so they won't do it.

You probably hit the nail on the head there. Let's take no risks for our businness and do the safe approach, even if it means letting our lifelong fans without their beloved physical CDs forever more.
Same as Zoo TV when they ended up making almost no profit of a 2 year long tour that set the basis for the next decades' rock shows. Yeah.

To be honest, now that I've got a job that allows me at least some disposable income, I would probably buy physical singles now. We tend to be defined by the things we keep and I think being defined by the music I love isn't a bad thing at all.

It stopped meaning awesome b-sides quite some years ago with U2 huh? Unless you count remixes as awesome b-sides (which I don't).

Of course you would, as would I. But let's be real, we're small cogs in a big wheel. This is a digital age. And I'm spoiled. I want the classic U2 single formula... with a fresh b-side.
I could care less about the techno house remix with loops and beats added to the song in the studio. I know I'm in the minority here, and getting off topic, but I figured I' d drop that in while on subject. The fact there are no digital singles probably has to do with fact that you can buy the single from the album. And they have offered alternate versions for fans to download at u2.com

I think we're still roughly on topic given that SFS is the next single. With no physical copies confirmed, will they release a new mix on U2.com or as a digital purchase via iTunes?
The music industry has gotten incredibly complicated with the ability to pick and choose which songs you want from an album (although it's always more cost effective to just buy the entire album). We also have on-demand streaming services such as spotify that surely eat away from the rest of the music sales.
