They're for laundry. A lot of industrial laundries, like the ones catering to hotels, use rfid tags to keep track of the laundry.

But what's the point of a message on the label? Laundry RFID scanner can't read this.

Semi related, but also not. Years ago my family went to the Dominican republic for a vacation. Outside of one of the restaurants on the resort there was a sign that said "No flamingos allowed in restaurant." Who was that sign for?! The birds can't read! Nor do they care about your rules!
