A tab protects the fingers from the string, otherwise why else would archers use them?
I think( but have no proof) that a poorly fitting tab, can make it feel clumsy and that can become a distraction. By "poorly fitting" I see two scenarios. One where the size is wrong and the other where the fit is too loose leaving the tab the chance to move around into different positions shot to shot.
Adding a plate to a tab, can make the fit more reliable and a confidence boost.It also allows a spacer to be fitted and adjusted.
If I was asked about tabs by a beginner, I might say something along the lines above.
However, I stopped using a tab before the more recent developments happened; the ones with wide plates and places to fit the little finger round.
What are beginners being told these days with regard to tabs?( that is a genuine question,I do not know the answer.) How do the more recent developments benefit the archers?
