CD/DVD is obsolete or deprecate at 2025?

Good news everyone,

Sorry that the question may have already been clarified earlier, but I am
not a regular member of the user mailing list, so I ask it again.

Every time I download the Debian image, I am faced with a moral disorder
and philosophically go on a historical journey into the past, so that I can
remember and dive deeply into memory during the times of using CDs.

Today in my environment I can be faced with a CD only for scaring away
birds or as an intricate amulet on teenagers’ backpacks as a reference to
the era of their parents, but not for recording images. Let's say, is this
my particular progressive experience, or do people still find the discs to
be as functional as ever?

More and more I see that people usually use USB flash drives everyday and
some large companies (like Microsoft) today provide an image with a USB
stick.

Is there a chance to change in next versions i.e. Debain 13 or other
versions an assembly specifically for a USB flash drive as primary
download? Do you think the time has come? When do you think this moment
will happen?

Again, forgive me if I don’t know some of the important details and
difficulties of booting modern PCs via UEFI or some other feature more
conveniently solved in the CD/DVD format. Then just tell me about it, I'll
read it.

Thanks.
