iso as a tarball

i recently found out that a friend of mine uses iso/udf for all sorts of things
he sent me a ton of msx stuff, all packaged in iso/udf

looking at the file extensions i thought they were copies of disks
but they were small files, and a lot, then i noticed that he was using it like a tape-archive

iso file as a tarball, i have never seen anybody use it this way
i am shocked, could not even ask why, i was embarrassed...

dear /prog/entlemen, what would be the advantages of this strange choice?
