Notice they are taping the rim, and doing so from wall to wall. Apparently, they do not feel tape interferes with the bead seating.
WTB specs using rim tape 5mm wider than the internal width of the rim. I can tell you from experience with their rims and the recommended tape width, it goes completely from wall to wall.

Notice in the description they mention it creates an air tight seal with the tire.
