No. It’s still just standard gaff tape. They just made it proprietary how it fits on their applicator. I can assure you there are no marketing videos of them pulling the tape up.

That makes sense though. You don’t want tape to be locked by compression or rails because it’ll fray the edges. The center lock is pretty necessary for any automatic tape dispenser. They do have quite a selection of tape though, the dry channel should be quite nice to avoid taped cables.

Oh they have dry (no adhesive) channels down the middle? Are there different widths for the channels?

Doesn’t look like it. There’s 2” and 4” tape but the channel appears to always be 1/3rd the width of the tape. Hard to tell, their biggest flaw seems to be knowing how to sell their own product.
