      I imagine such a huge drop in demand would probably lead to any still standing manufacturers to cease production though.

        The last manufacturers stopped making them 10 years ago. There’s basically just one guy “making” floppies these days, and he doesn’t actually manufacture them, he just buys used ones for pennies on the dollar, formats and tests them, and sells them on. Not one company has made new floppies in a decade. A shocking number of industries are dependant on just like, this one random dude.
