I dunno why, I like how floppy disks look
I'd be perfectly fine with floppy disks still if they had been able to remotely keep up with CD-DVD in speed and size.
But also isn't Modern Computing basically built upon an entire foundation of 30+ year old structures? I mean not just the Floppy Icon but on Windows A:\ is a reserved letter for the Floppy Drive, and that was a legacy from DOS.
The unix/linux root directories are also good examples, perhaps dating even earlier.
