flac is objectively worse then wav because:
1. removing "redundant" info from the lpcm stream to reduce file size creates unfixable errors in the data
2. asking hardware to decode the information from the flac file and interpolate the missing data for real time playback introduces more errors because computers cheat at floating point math

flac is objectively better then wav because:
1. its (much) smaller
2. it can be turned back into a mostly okay wav file if you convert it before playback

it is a tradeoff. file compression is all about tradeoffs. you are trading quality for file size. the mp3fag mentality is trading quality for file size. it is the same argument made for the same reasons. it is the same thing.

all that being said it is up to the end user how much quality loss is acceptable even if in the vast majority of use cases there is enough storage space available that compressing audio makes zero sense. yes, even when quality loss is minimal. high quality audio files are small without compression and large storage drives are very, very cheap
