Ooookay
He found some 3.5" floppy disk - he went over to us saying: "why did you 3d-print the Save-Icon from Office so many times"

My experience is you are indeed correct. Modern phone/tablet users are so divorced from a file systems that those brought up on them have no idea what a file is or where their data is saved... The data (video, music, shopping-list) simply exists "in the app".
(And don't get me started on their concept of data portability!)
The problem is that as idiotic as the people of DOGE were, the questionable motives for their actions are the only thing that's left following the monumental failure DOGE has been in terms of meeting their announced goals.
There is literally no fraud/abuse that has been discovered let alone prosecuted and they redefined "waste" to "programs I don't like" to save few hundred millions, maybe a billion... from and original target between 1 and 2 TRILLIONS (according to Musk).
I unfortunately don't think we can (nor should) apply Hanlon's razor, they will abuse the collected data one way or another.
What do you expect from an Admin engaging in concerted destruction of the Institutional framework we've been dependent on all these years? Nothing can be discovered if you don't look, and Donnie boy replaces anyone who'd be tasked with looking with a goon. Nothing to see here, moving right along.
There is a whistleblower report that says one thing and the SSA official that says another thing.
Regardless of which you believe, the HN title is questionable.
