That may have been what the contract said should happen to the old tapes. The company paying for the transfers may have been concerned about the IP aspects of what was on some other tapes in the batch/similar batches being digitised, so a default of "shred the old media once you've digitised them and we've QA'd the results" would be easy to understand.
