Tape makes a lot of sense audio-quality wise especially for people who insist on analogue for some silly reason, the prices don't make sense, though: Tapes are expensive to manufacture. CDs and vinyl are pressed whole while tapes need to be run through a machine, centimetre by centimetre. Though maybe for small runs it does make sense as you don't need a physical master.
