Because floppy disks could only hold tiny amounts of data, only above 1Mb, where as now days memory sticks can hold over 16Gb, over 16,000 times more data. They are also bigger in size too. Most documents and files wouldn't even fit on a floppy, such as MP3 files (songs) which are about 4Mb.

Many older systems did not have the ability to boot from the cdrom drive or USB drives. On these systems the only options were booting from the hard disk or floppy disk, so if the OS hadnt been installed to the hard disk yet (or it was broken) the only other option was the floppy disk.
