Ok, I need some education. On other home type

What would be an example of a different setup?
F'rinstance, there were cassette replacements made for paper tape gear,
which recorded NRZ data digitally on a cassette tape. These things usually
had extra functionality, such as high-speed search. In these, a steady
tape velocity isn't particularly important, unlike an audio recorder.
