> see 'tape' and how it's 'the only test framework which supports TAP' because the tape author invented TAP

What? The tape package on npm? As far as I know, that was made by substack (James Halliday), whereas TAP dates back to 1987 with Perl (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol says “the Test::Harness module was written by Tim Bunce and Andreas König”).

I saw TAP presented for the first time along with tape and evidently got confused. You're right. I stand corrected.
