People still like owning physical media but largely have no reason to. Cassettes are a way to physically own an album you love, financially support the artist moreso than through Spotify or whatever, while not requiring the same amount of space as vinyl. They're also a lot cheaper and easier to produce than vinyl records.

But wait I thought young people hate plastic. But now they want a bunch of plastic cassette tapes. Can you you say double standard.
