I think that some use this analogy in order to use it in a certain way that encompasses the mind reality as not being as it seems to be.
What I would say is that the rope might be mistaken for a snake and vice versa but it has always been what it is.
The snake has always been a snake the rope has always been a rope so to use the analogy that reflects an illusion doesn't work for me, but it does show us how things are mistakenly perceived.
