An interesting point not touched upon is that the types of people using USB sticks has changed. Because the use of technology filters down from tech savvy, to general population, to people late to the scene or can’t change.
We are in that last stage now. They are buying by price and so easier to take advantage of.
I haven't even found the need for a thumbdrive outside of flashing firmware and storage devices. All my documents are on google drive.
Be sure to have backups and not that sole location. Same is true of any physical drive, but at least a drive failure might be recoverable. A cloud storage can just be gone one day.
