That's indeed lousy!  Any decent OS should should support _all_
built-in devices of the computer!  I cna only think of two possible
reasons to not do that:

1. Sloppiness or laziness - the OS implementor thinks it's "too much
work" to do that.  If so, he probably thought it was "too much work"
to do a lot of other stuff as well, and the end result is likely
an inferior product.

2. Ideological reasons - the OS implementor thinks you "shouldn't"
use the floppy, instead of leaving that decision to you.  In that
case you're sort of buying a religion instead of an OS.
