While they may not be actively used, they do still exist. Sure, so do paper tape and punch cards.... there's a number of issues but primarily people interested in the technology both maintaining it and actually testing it to ensure it works. For example we've had a kernel patch since 2010 that disables the auto loading of the floppy kernel module so people would have to know manually load it. All this package does is to actually enable the auto loading of that module so it works OOTB for those that know to install the package.
