It's fantasy unless you are a guinea pig, cat or some other non-human and the program content is non-human and everything was at least 24 bit @ 96 kHz.
I've been doing digital recording since about 1993. Worked in AV & Telecom R&D. Did BBC courses.
Nothing for humans needs more than Red Book CD Audio. There is some value in initial sampling at 96 kHz (or even 192 kHz) to make analogue audio filters better/simpler. But you can immediately reduce to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. There might be some internal value in converting 16 bit to 24 bit (or even 32 bits) before mixing multitrack, but then 16 bits afterwards.
Distribution doesn't need more than 16bit 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. Playback might use 96 or 192 kHz conversion simply to make the analogue filter cheaper.
