Not surprising in the least. 120 format was first introduced in 1901 and is still around and available, and the common 35mm format is coming up on a century (first released in 1934.) And that's if you just look at Kodak. Fujitsu still makes limited runs of 101, which Kodak discontinued in the 1950's for use in medium format cameras.

35mm has been the de facto standard way before 1934. Even early sound-on-film stuff happened before ‘34

No doubt. Should have been clearer by saying Kodak 135 format instead of just 35mm, especially considering (as you said) there are other 35mm formats.

I doubt it’s the same product. Virtually all film back then was nitrate, which rapidly declined in use in the post-WWII era because it caught fire so easily.

It's the cartridge roll film format which is the same, not the film itself.

Technology connections?

He just released a no nut effort november video about a film speed recognition standard for cameras, so OP likely got his other videos about cameras and film recommended.

Plus-X was the same film but with a coating that allowed the negatives to be retouched. Unfortunately it's no longer available either. It was nice stuff.

Kodak still makes T-Max 100 in 120 size.

There is a link to the 120 film page in this article, that says 120 film has been in use since 1901, and 120 film is way more common and popular than 127 film.
