I remember many years ago when I was going through a box of my burned CDs and games and realized I could just download any of them whenever I wanted. Plus my computer didn't even have a CD/DVD drive any more. End of an era.

I've got a nearly 20 year old cdrom drive that just keeps getting transfered from build to build because you never know. I don't think I've opened in like 3 years... I'm gonna see if it still does real quick.

Ok it does but there was a driver cd for a motherboard I don't own anymore in it.

I keep a Blu ray/DVD burner in a portable enclosure stored away just in case I want to play some of my older games. (I have a smallish retro game collection at this point in a CD rack in my bookshelf, as well as a few boxes copies. if anything it's cool to look at)

Or I need to burn something on the off chance I need to get data off of a really old computer that my grandparents own or something.

I even keep a cd album of turned recovery disk's for various operating systems. I have DVDs for reinstalling windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.1 and 10, as well as a bunch of Linux live DVDs/CDs just in case. I always try the USB options first, but if they don't work I can always fall back on the CD/DVD. The portable drive guarantees I can use it even on a PC that doesn't have a drive (provided it's not too old - I don't own floppys because I don't have a FD drive)
