there’s no macs with disc drives any more The drives still exist. They're just optional now. Like bucket seats. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD564LL/A/a

  Fun fact. That's the oldest product they still sell as it was introduced with the original MacBook Air in 2008. They've done literally nothing to it and it sill comes with a USB A cable despite most of their computers not having one at all. It also is pretty bad value these days when a Blu-ray writer costs about the same.

    It depends on what you're using it for. I have a couple of Blu-Ray drives, and they're much more finicky than the SuperDrive. When a disc won't read or write in my Pioneer drive, I try it in my no-name Blu-ray drive, and when that fails, I try it in the SuperDrive, and it always works. I consider something that works reliably 99% of the time to be a better value than something that works 80% of the time.

    I'd wager they are just selling whatever inventory they have yet, and it'll never get a USB-C refresh.
