My Hilleberg tents never needed this kind of treatment,
while the seams of these tents are not 'taped'. 
Personally I wouldn't buy a tent that needed sealing
(as long as I can afford it of course!).
Shouldn't it be possible for tentmakers to design and make tents
that are waterproof (enough) without the user being forced to
seal the tent themselves?
