Can you elaborate on this American businesses requiring floppy disks?
"Required" might not be the right word, but here's an article about how the San Fransico Trains are updated via floppies - https://www.wired.com/story/san-francisco-muni-trains-floppy-disks/
In the US at least it's not about required, but more legacy support. There are still a lot of old systems that work, but use old technology.
