I am confused, is this piece making fun of Floppy disks or just documenting a fact?

If it's the former, I'd discourage the criticism because Floppy disks are working, and there's no good reason to redo the whole thing and potentially create a lot of bugs, that you'll then spend a wormhole amount of money fixing.

Change for the sake of change is a bad idea. Especially for equipment that has to be ultra-reliable.

Neurotic journalists who don't build anything ever, much less sell it.

"OMG, this still runs on COBOL? haha"

Yes.

> Floppy disks are working

But are they? How many hours have very expensive machines been grounded because the disk drive got misaligned and said "Disk Read error in drive A:. Abort, Retry, Fail?"
