There is no appreciable difference (sound quality-wise) between

To expand on this -- wasn't the main reason for introducing 48 k
recording to screw up copying of CDs in the first place?

And to make home recording and production of CDs harder. The major labels
remembered what happened in the 1950s when anybody with an Ampex and a
couple of U-47s could start a label, and there was an explosion of little
labels that put a serious dent in the majors' sales. They wanted to prevent
that happening again. Didn't work, but they tried.
