Guess what, we adapted. Much can be done with email attachments, SharePoint, cloud storage and shared folders; but it all depends on Ethernet. No network, no work! Very little happens on the local machine.
And the point I was trying to make is that solution doesn't work for everyone. It's all well and good in an environment that has been deliberately designed for working without removable media. A single home user who does all their work on a local machine and relies on removable media for backup and file transport, still needs support for that removable media.

I would hardly call the US Department of Defense a normal/average computer user.
