Floppies are pretty much dead unless you use industrial computers that can't be upgraded.

Floppies are a type of spinning rust.

Floppy drives themselves can generally be replaced by emulators, at least from a technical perspective. Like with a FlexiDrive or HxC.

That's not to say it'd always be possible, I presume that there may be regulatory issues in some cases.
