Painters tape can hardly handle any weight, you deal with stubborn residues and damaged paint with Blu tacks, same with most tapes out there. Why is it so challenging to create something paint-safe and yet strong enough to hold some weight?

Because in the end, this isn’t really a problem with the tape, but rather the paint itself.
We can either attach something strongly to the paint, but then the weakest link becomes the wall-paint connection, so the paint gets ripped off. Or you can attach the tape so loosely, that the paint-tape connection is the weakest link. But then it has to be weaker than the paint-wall connection, so it can’t support a lot of force.
It’s like hanging a hook on a thin thread and asking, why there is no special hook so we can hang a lot more stuff on it. The hook is not the limiting factor.
