Rubbish.
When you work on secured network with proper Unix servers and need to move
say, an SSH key to another server, floppies are handy and sometimes the
only way to do it.
Also, as far as I know *none* of the Linux distros support using a serial
console when installing which makes floppies neccessary or very useful
depending on what the computer hardware supports.

Sometimes it is.
