Without mentioning brand names...
The "yellow" tape is more of a standard for tapes these days..(sometimes free, at Harbor Freight, with coupon)
I think "that rule" is more an attempt at standardization, than exclusivity of possibly more efficient but not widely available means... For those that don't have a yellow tape, if you can read this you are civilized enough to find one, within a mile of, or at the same place, you bought the device you're reading this on..
