For various reasons. The days when sharing bootlegs and underground music on cassettes was the most practical option is long gone, so I find the current fad kinda inauthentic. It's just cultural mimicry with no real basis to it other than it being fad-y.
But mostly, it bothers me due to the reason posted above. If people wanna listen to tapes, someone has to make tape decks and someone has to make tapes. These things have to be shipped by container ships and trailers. It creates plastic waste and other kinds of pollution. And all for novelty items which noone needs which are ultimately comparatively impractical.
