$5 worth of rope tied around the wheel in exactly the same manner does the same thing.
The rope would probably work, but I think the strap is easier to cinch down. Plus, with the ice and snow I drive through in Montana, the big rubber block will have much more bite.

Gee When My Daughter got her car stuck she ha a boyfriend dig out to the attach point and called Daddy's rescue Service.
I have a big tow strap and initially tried to pull out the 2WD car, but my truck in 4-low got stuck. It's not a good feeling when the rescue vehicle needs rescuing.

Kitty Litter!
Make a little trail and drive right out.
I know plenty of people that use kitty litter, and it seems to work. I personally would rather just have a strap under my back seat than a bag of kitty litter that will need to be replaced. Plus, it won't work well in mud.

This makes me want to see about a bumper mounted wench. Not as good as 4x4, but still will get a motorhome unstuck.
I couldn't imagine putting a WENCH on my front bumper. She would have to hang on, and I doubt the ride would be comfortable. Maybe my next truck will have a WINCH, but it's an expensive aftermarket part that I may only use once a year.

If you are just trying to get unstuck, then use rope. If you need to drive down a road for any distance get some chains. They work in mud and snow.
Snow chains are not one size fits all. I would have to get chains for each one of my vehicles, which would be costly. And the weight added to each vehicle doesn't make sense. These straps work on everything, including a stranger's stuck vehicle I roll up to.
