Default Why Use Virtual Tape Libraries?

I am a college student in a class for Information Storage and Management. In my reading, I found mention of Virtual Tape Libraries. I understand how simulating tape on disk is better than tape, but why stop there? Why not just put data on disk? What is the benefit of pretending it is tape?
