I just think it's odd that such a long-outdated term is still in use. Something about it being more specific than "tape" makes it more weird to me.

There are adult people alive right now who save things in software with a button that looks like a floppy disk without even knowing what it is. It will become part of normal language as just another word who's origin was forgotten. Just like we still "tape" and "film" things with digital cameras.
