You're really reaching for advantages there...
I'll give you the write protect one, but...
> Small enough to fit in your pocket but large enough not to get lost from your pocket
You can get keyring flash drives, I'd rather that than something larger. Anyway a floppy barely fit in a pocket.
> Cheap enough not to care about
Flash drives are cheap enough not to care about... but my data isnt!
I would definitely give a flash drive to someone if they needed it. They're like $4 each or something. And on a $/Gb comparison they obviously blow away a floppy.
> Disk could be ejected but still sitting in the drive not sticking out far enough to be a bother
You can safely remove a flash drive and leave it plugged in if you like.
