Reminds me of putting down an untacked carpet with a built in rubberized
backing on my vinyl tile floor in the basement family room.
When I went to replace it the rubberized backing was essentially glued
to the vinyl. It tore off in most spots and took a major effort to remove.

The rubber backed carpet can stick, even without glue but glue
compounds the removal. If I'm correct, rubber backed carpet is most
often used in commercial places like restaurants, casinos, etc.
Matching the color pattern and getting the seams 'accurate and
straight' is a trick. Some of those patterns are interesting.
