I think tape is actually a reaction to Melodyne and a statement about

What does Melodyne have to do with tape (or not tape)? It's just another
tool.
They never went through some of the multitracks that were
available from the Olde Dayes. You'd have need a map to navigate the raw
tracks to "Bohemian Rhapsody" so that's not much an example for
workflow purity.
Exactly - they made a map, or more like a matrix, as a guide when
mixing. You might have a tambourine on the trombone track when the brass
section isn't playing. Usually the way that was handled was to split the
track to two mixer channels (there were always more mixer channels than
there were tracks - otherwise how else would you track an orchestra?),
set up level, panning, EQ, and effects for the trombone, the other for
the tambourine, and un-mute the right one at the right place (or else do
the mix over again).
The vinyl thing? Who knows?
The people who love vinyl the most have all partially lost their hearing
and eyesight.
