This is really a lesson of how products can have a “long tail”. I haven’t inserted a floppy into a floppy drive this century, and yet until now drives have still been available to purchase, and I still see disks on supermarket shelves. While most of us stopped using it, there is a “long tail” of people who marketers and manufacturers might forget about, because they are such a minority:

* enthusiasts (like people who still use LP records)
* the local poor & poor non-profit orgs
* the foreign poor, ie many in Africa
* the technologically challenged (like elderly folk who have a TRS-80 that still does all they need)
* lovers of old pieces of software that are not available in an updated form

The floppy is dead. Almost all products have a finite period of usefulness, but some of us write them off too early.
