Maybe they miss the sound MCs make after a couple of hot summers in the glove compartment :)

Personally I have many vinyls but the only MCs I have (2 boxes full) contain ZX spectrum games. I wonder how many of them still work, I haven't had it out for a spin in a couple years.

Cassettes have a versatile DIY aesthetic about them: you could record all your sources off radio, TV or CD, sample it into a synth, build up and trade mixtapes, and so on. It isn't just a format for pre-recorded, and digital doesn't really do the same thing since the result of recording into digital is neatly encoded and organized files.
