Magnetic tape is still a thing, particularly for long-term data storage. If you want to keep some data around for longer than most humans live, store it on magnetic tape.

Wouldn't SSDs be cheaper and last longer?

Yeah, but a lot of companies started storing their records on magnetic tape when that became a thing, and it's more for continuity purposes. It's still the lowest cost, highest capacity, longest durability solution for archival purposes.
