All of it except the part where it implies people immediately abandoned floppies when hard drives showed up. They coexisted for quite a while, and computers would often have one hard drive and one floppy drive (so A:\ and C:\ without B:\).
And LS-120 drives, which were so much the second coming of floppies that they could also read regular 3.5" floppies while making an alarming screeching noise the entire time to sweeten the deal.
…I still have three of them someplace. I definitely have a box of LS-120 disks somewhere, too.

The BIOS part is not correct but that’s nitpicking. Also omits the second coming of floppies through ZIP drives.

My first home built pc with a 3.5 floppy and cdrw drive. Pretty sure the HD was 500gb or something around that.
