Missed this the first time. In a published interview, Stuart said that as a matter of policy, WMG has for years been transferring its analog tape at 192/24, and that in the majority of cases, for those recordings these would be the source of MQA files.

MQA, of course, has no say in deciding what sources Tidal uses for their 44.1/16-equivalent files.
