It is not needed. There were old VHS tape rewinders that people used, and this is a play on those. “Ha ha, gotta rewind the DVD”

You had to rewind VHS. Then VHS got replaced by DVD, but unfortunately most early DVD players did not have a rewind function, thus this device.

There's even a movie about it: "Be kind rewind" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0799934
