It's something that I've been aware of for a while and I've often wondered whether that's why some recordings sound so bad when streaming from Qobuz...
I haven't noticed poor quality on any files that I've bought and downloaded from Qobuz but they have all been Hi-res. Maybe the watermarks are not applied to them?
Scarily, all these labels might be affected:
