The most common use was tying down the giants because they ate so much.

I think they got it wrong.
I think it’s a “arrow” shaft or spear shaft straightener.
Cordage is made by twisting and reverse wrapping with fingers and palms on thighs. One person could make about 20 yards of two ply reverse wrap cordage a day without any tools. Think of kitchen string.
(In the modern world, rope and cordage is twisted on hooks.)
I can’t see how the tool they found could possibly be useful for making rope.
I think the phonies at Science mag are smoking hemp.

I wonder what they used the rope for? I know what we could use rope for today.

Just about everything.
In the wilderness you need something to cut with, something to make fire, something to cook in and something to tie it all together.

Look up Tollund Man if you want to see what rope was used for.
