I disagree. Find a prebuilt PC that ships with a drive. Extremely rare unless you custom order it.
On my desk sits a usb CD/DVD writer. Majority of my non tech friends might have an old bluray or DVD player laying aroung or a PS3/4.
With your statement, you can say floppies are too easy to burn since you can buy a usb writer and a stack on amazon.
It's true. Using floppies is too easy for decent nostalgia usage. To prove the point: how many people do you know who use floppies for nostalgia reasons?
