I can provide some context. In the 90s, over 40 years ago, they enjoyed displaying their floppy discs to gain their guests’ envy but they were still wary of theft, so they placed them inside of heavy transparent enclosures. This practice descended from the premise of china cabinets. I’ve circled the floppy discs in blue for clarity.

The security of 90s technology was largely based on the honor system.
