I still have a few in one of the c900's where the radio flakes out occasionally but the tape deck is still good... that's the only use for cassettes for me.
The vinyl comeback makes sense - the fidelity that records are capable of is very good, on par with cd's (both have their flaws, which I would rate as similar in magnitude, but different). The large cover art and physical qualities are part of the charm. Cassette tapes otoh have none of those redeeming qualities and are pretty medium-fi overall... which is perfectly fine in a car (with road noise etc), but really not very engaging otherwise, at least if one is used to higher fidelity options!
Wide format tape used in recording studios is relatively good stuff (at least with careful archival processes). But that's really a different thing than cassette.
