I believe the first answer is accurate, and good. Freezer tape does obviously a use, and a market. A common use is along with freezer paper, you can look that up if you please, but freezer paper used to be known as fish paper, as it was used to wrap fish by many markets, back when you can get it from the case, and not all frozen. In the US, it seems the iggest market for freezer tape, and its accompaning freezer paper, is among those who freeze, repackage, or process meats at home, and in some old fashioned deli’s. An interesting side note, I worked in the deli department of a store that always wrapped meats in ‘fish’ paper. The reason was that this store had some locations in Jewish areas, customers that wanted to be descrete about their meat purchases requested it be wrapped in fish paper, to avoid the embarrassment of purchasing a product, such as pork, that orthodox Jews were not supposed to eat.
I use freezer tape, along with freezer paper to wrap the deer meat I process, as do many others who process the meat.
