Tons and tons of works are basically lost because of this. It's the kind of thing the Lost Media Wiki is trying to track:

And for an example of a made for TV movie nearly lost this way... well, the Rapsittie Kids Believe in Santa was only found in September 2015, presumably thanks to some random guy saving it on a tape or something:

Of course, it also kind of proves that a lot of lost media isn't particularly good (the film mentioned there is one of the worst animated films ever made, and yet somehow still managed to air on network TV), but yeah, same thing applies. Lots of thought lost or thought non existent media is just waiting around on videos and cassettes.
