Because floppy drives are irrelevant. A high density 3.5" floppy could hold 1.44 MB of information. That's tiny compared to the amount of data that will fit on a USB memory stick costing $1 or so.
A "diskette" or "floppy disk" is neither as they are removable magnetic storage media. However, if you refer to the drives that read from them or write to them, then those drives are considered hardware.
Most modern computers do not have any floppy drives at all. Ones made before 2001 generally had one. Two floppy drives was common only in very old computers with no fixed storage device.
Some are, not many however.
Not in a computer that featured a floppy drive as standard. Computers with floppy drives (4 years old or older) used 34-pin connectors for the floppies and 40-pin (PATA or IDE) cables for the hard drives. Modern computers use Serial ATA, and some SATA floppy drives are available, but they are not common.
Computers made today generally do not have any floppy drives at all. PCs traditionally had 2 floppy drives (A: and B:) but might have only one of these. The original Mac had 1 floppy drive. Early microcomputers could frequently have as many as 4 floppy drives. (I had one with this capability but I never connected more than 3 floppy drives, these were 8 inch double sided double density drives).

It usually brings up the boot device menu. From there you can select what hardware you want to start your computer from, regardless of the boot order set in the F2 (or F1) menu. You can select installed hardware (Hard drives, Optical Drives, or Floppy Drives) or removable hardware (External Hard drives, flash drives, etc.).
They can hold more data than floppy disks and computers aren't really made with floppy disk entrances :)

mass
normally RAM and H drives are on most computers. other just use there flash drives or floppy disks
