      I can’t remember where, but I think I’ve seen that spun as a security benefit (probably facetiously). Simply because few people can access floppies anymore, especially 5 1/4". And there’s probably like 20 people with 8 inch floppy drives.

      Edit: oops… There is literally a comment in this thread saying the very same.
