I guess most of the size of a USB drive is just handle, isn't it? Especially those models where you can retract the plug like that.

You can get tiny ones that are like a wireless mouse dongle. And double ended ones with USB-A on one end, USB-C on the other so you can plug it into your PC or phone. I keep one on my keyring, with all my favorite memes

I have a 32 gig flippy A/C one and it's amazing. I didn't want it any bigger because lots of legacy devices can't read more than 32 gigs. I can use mine with any of my laptops or phones, and also in the 16yo plotter at work.

Some yes some no. I took apart a 128gig one when I got bored one day and it was pretty long. I'll upload a pic when I get home.

Missed opportunity to show the progression from 8.5" floppies down.

I'm gonna have to be that guy and point out that 1tb flash drives are around the same price as 1tb sd cards on average.

The floppy is magnetic media and both the USB and SD Card are flash storage...

The reality is more like the USB told the Floppy to lose some weight, and then the USB went and lost weight itself, and then the Floppy just died of embarrassment.
