    When the technology was ubiquitous, it didn’t require specialized equipment ie USB disc drives, because the necessary gear was already built in

    That gear is necessary for a vanishingly small subset of PC users. It makes absolutely no sense to put them in PCs anymore. As a child of the 80s, you’re reminding me very much of the people that decried the advent of the CD, and pined for the days of vinyl dominance. I’m guessing you think cars should still come with tape decks too.
