I think it's a pure anachronism at this point: it makes more sense to me in the era where small drive sizes meant a lot of professional users relied on external drives and “just upload it” wasn't going to fly with a 9600bps modem, not to mention hardware costing more and failing increasing the need to move drives between machines simply to get back in service.
