It is fairly easy to argue that strapping cables in walls is just to keep them away from the rockers and serve little purpose after the rock is up. After all we can fish cables after the rock is up and the code is OK with that.
All ty-raps are mot created equal tho. I have some that seem to last forever and others that get brittle pretty fast. The problem is they all look the same. It should be noted that the T&B site said the U/V protected ties are not plenum rated. That might be important when you are using them in air handling spaces.
