I've written a DVD a week ago :)

Also, CD-Rs are used a lot in legal world, DVDs in medical equipment. BDs in studios and for data backup.

DVDs are still available in many stores for movies, but there's nothing mainstream I can think of that still uses CD-Rs.

CD-Rs are used a lot to transfer data between air gapped or TRMPEST computers. It is quite easy to destruct a CD-R, and they can’t be reused. Hard to destruct a USB memory, and the possibility to reuse them always increases the risk that some one does that and leak confidential information.
