This is absolutely my experience. I was lucky enough to have a home desktop and needed to transport stuff to my university, floppy drives were the main method but so painful. Zip drives were better, but still sucked and frequently failed.
I clearly remember swapping the zip drive for a cdrw one. Far more reliable and 6x the space.

I think one computer at school had a zip drive. I never saw another one all my life, compared to ubiquitous floppies and cd’s
