Yeah I didn’t either, seemed silly. Re-writing was so much slower too than just straight burning on a CD-R. I still have a bunch in my basement that I may never use up from my last purchase probably nearly a decade ago, lol. I have DVD-R’s down there too that I KNOW will never see the light of day, should probably find a new home for them.
They’re still useful, someone local may want them for a free pickup. I still keep a spindle of both, for when I’m restoring older laptops and PCs. For drivers and software.
I should drop them for free somewhere probably and see if someone does. When working with computers I just keep a stash of cheap flash drives around. Much easier than burning a CD anyways since new laptops don’t usually have CD drives anymore (mine doesn’t though I have a USB one around here somewhere).

But flash drives don’t come with a free bagel holder 😂
