A long time ago, back in 2007, power supplies for video cards in the 5.25 "form factor (drive) were produced.
Today, these can only be found on Avito.
Why are they not being produced now and what were their significant drawbacks?

Where did magneto-optics go?
Where did the BlueRay discs go?
Where did the regular floppy disks go?
There is no demand or it is extremely narrow - there is no supply. How much are you willing to pay for such a PSU? After all, he will have a normal price only with large-scale production - and to whom should they be sold?
