Why shouldn't a carpet roll tape cleaner be used on regular wooden floors or tatami mats?

When cleaning the house, it is tempting to roll a tape cleaner regardless of the flooring material. The product instructions state that use on wooden floors and tatami mats is prohibited, making one wonder why.

Because it uses a synthetic rubber adhesive to remove fiber dust and therefore has strong adhesiveness, the tape can stick to smooth floors or tatami surfaces and damage them.
