What's a floppy?
I actually have some here*, but I can imagine users that have never seen or used one. I think Apple was first without them.
[* I think the 8″ are gone, but there are 5.25″, 3.5″ and 3″ still here and even a couple of tower PCs in attic with Linux and able to manage almost anything except Apple II and ACT Sirius 1/Victor 9000. Not sure about Amiga. A USB Floppy drive can only read standard DOS FAT12, no CP/M, Amstrad or Amiga etc. A couple of last Mobos ever with floppy controllers, which only need dumb cables for 8″, 5.25″ and 3″ drives, but I gave away the last 8″ drive about 10 years ago.]
