Well, my previous PC still had disc drives – two in fact, a DVD reader and a CD-RW. Only because I didn’t get a new case and didn’t have any replacement front panels, though, they were never connected because PATA doesn’t work well on a SATA-only board. Also still had a 3.5" floppy drive, also not connected, for the same reason.
Now my case doesn’t even have a bay to put a drive into.
My last desktop (made 3 quarters of a decade ago now) didn’t, but that’s becouse I knew someone with a USB disc reader, the only thing I ever needed it for was installing windows though

I’ve been saying this for years, blurays have a relatively small (by mobern standards) size cap, USB sticks just keep getting bigger
