RTR's were expensive. The tapes were also, compared to LP's. Records and cassettes were easier to play not having to thread a tape in a RTR.
Interesting Stereo Ads? Post a pic for memory lane's sake.

They were not prevalent compared to the turntable, no. But common enough that even a non "HiFi buff" would recognize the equipment and what it was used for. We had them in our schools. I would say that taping broadcast music was a common use when live music was transmitted in the larger metro areas was popular. There was a good amount of prerecorded music, actually. At least up to the point where the cassette and 8-track pushed it out of the label libraries.

Found these ads on Ebay for a couple of my components. They are from Rolling Stone magazines.

Can you reupload this with a bigger size? I can't read the brochure.
