And let’s not forget that tape is not a permanent storage medium. It will degrade eventually.

That can probably be said about anything except punchcards, papertape, and paper printed output.

Magnetic and optical media degrade.

I know where there are some Enver Hoxha posters that are still legible after 45 years stuck to lamp posts and exposed to Upstate New York winters.
