My colony still have IBM PC 3.5" disks (e.g., MS Word for DOS, Windows
3.1, drivers like for SB16, etc.) from the 90s. I don't even use them!
:O

Me neither. I still have all the drives and still have machines that can use them including the Commodre 64 drive. > :O This is no laughing matter antboy.

I volunteer at the NJ Vintage Computer Museum
(a member of the Vintage Computer Federation)
https://vcfed.org/
so all sizes and formats are still in use.
Admittedly, many well used systems
use solid-state drive emulators such as Fujinet
https://fujinet.online/
I personally still have 8" DSDD drives running my Z80 CP/M system.
