Yes, the 5.25in drives were phasing out by 1990, in part because of the IBM PS/2 series computers. It wasn't uncommon to buy software that had the option of either (or in some cases both) in the early 1990's.
What was really rare were the 8in floppy drives. Those were mostly on more expensive business systems (Tandy Model 2 for example) and minicomputers. I don't think I ever got to use a system that had those.
