IMO, the important part is that practically none of the modern
converters, especially "24-bit" (or more) ones do the conversion in the
presentation they express towards the outside world. That is the actual
converter is not PCM nor has 24-bit resolution.
Quite typical cheap converter is 2-bit 128fs SDM using pretty hefty
noise shaping...
Using PCM in general for digital signal representation is mostly just a
convenience causing unnecessary extra trouble elsewhere.
