I suffered enough of that back in my C64 days.

Anybody who could afford it did get a floppy drive. I got an Amiga 500 at some point, instead.

I still have the hardware and the tapes, so I intend to get everything operational again at some point. It's just in the back of the queue, as I am busy dealing with a lot of "retro" platforms already.

At the end of the c64 era I had hd. Ran a large bbs. In the beginning of the c64 era a 1541 was more than enough.

Using a hard drive for a c64 isn't uncommon.
