First thing I did to my machine after I bought it was put

old sneakers to carry it to the other machine), especially
when they use different OS or are some distance apart.
I think that this is because most people (i.e. other than those that
need to look after legacy systems without USB) now use a USB stick for
that purpose since it's faster and generally more reliable than
floppies.
You may be right. But a stick wears out, and costs a lot more.
