Heh, well, not sure about this, as it was the famous QNX 4.x floppy which was groundbreaking (the main dev passed away around the time of the release). I remember running a Linux firewall on a floppy, stateless (read-only). Nowadays, we wouldn't accept such, as it would not be able to update the software easily. I mean, one can run a firewall and virtual switch in a VM these days. With snapshot support. And then there's something like Nix which does take up a lot of space, same with ZFS dedup. While these features all use a lot of disk space, they give a lot of advantages. Which, logically, come with a price.
