Dollar for dollar, compared to what people have as options for entertainment (for example, watching a cartoon or playing a video game, streaming a tv show or movie, reading a book, going to cinema, etc.), the amount of time (entertainment value) you get for your $3.99/4.99 per floppy (average price) versus what you get for the other options at their average price (from free to pennies on the dollar for the same average time spent) is a ridiculously wide gap.
Floppies are a niche market. I'm a comic book reader but there's absolutely nothing wrong with TPBs and graphic novel length books being the default/dominant option.
For the people who do still want floppies, they should just be print to purchase options the way some indie publishers do it - there's no real reason to be bankrupting local comic shops -- or to make it an non-existing option for comic book readers in foreign (non-USA) markets. Print to own, for example, could be easier to translate and actually grow the market for comic book readers.
