    Boeing could supply virtual floppy drives that take USB drives or SD cards if they wanted to. I’m sure they don’t want to spend the money getting one certified until they are forced to though.

    Floppy disks will continue working fine until the supply of new old stock disks runs out or becomes unreliable.

      Certification is expensive. But updated dbs are pretty huge and seem to only get bigger over time. Stuff like radio firmware tends to be in the hundreds of KBs though, so for that it really wouldn’t be a big deal either way.
