It's grossly exaggerated because it was designed when we had UX designers

It has to look okay all the way down to 8x8 pixels

Justice for the 5.25" floppy disk! It had an actual hole inside, which would fit your finger! You could see it's a disk and not a weird shaped square box, and you could hear it's rotating.

back in the ol' 8bit commodore days, we had one of these gadgets so we could flip 'em over and use the other side

Ah, if you're saying it should have been designed based off 5.25" I'm down :)
