First they came for i386. Now they come for the floppy drive.
Hang on to those legacy systems for reading legacy media.
I'll bet you can make a fortune converting this shit for boomers.

Not necessarily. Old stashes of floppy disks sometimes turn up in places like eab.abime.net (Amiga forum), and a good portion of the data gets recovered. But the more time passes, the less chances of recovery.
And then there's stuff that just disappears from the Internet, like pic-related. Maybe the last copy even exists on a floppy drive in someone's attic.

Then just put those floppies into a USB floppy drive and read them.
