Weeeell... floppies have more downsides that upsides and could've been replaced ages ago (along with implementing backup policies). They could've at least migrated to data MiniDiscs. 😁

Faxes from what I've heard were mostly because back in the day it was easier to write Japanese on a paper and fax it... in the age of Unicode, fax-to-mail and alike... dunno, maybe.

I generally agree though, no point in adopting new stuff just because.
