Maybe 3M has better lobbyists.
I use 3M 77 to entangle Black Widow spiders. Last year I killed 89 of them around the perimeter. I go spider hunting late at night armed with a flashlight and a can of 3M 77. I like the ironic twist of them becoming caught in their own web.

I've found 3M 77 to be inadequate for a lot of uses. I've yet to try the 3M 99, but have used the waterbased green contact cement that replaced the good Weldwood acetone based stuff.
