"Dad, why does the save button always have that funny symbol on it?"
"Because, son, that was the main way to save something when the technology was invented"
"So why don't the update it to have a picture of an SSD?"
"Because, son, SSD's are completely obsolete. I'm just too fucking cheap to get you a real computer with an organic memory cell."
It's the first universally understood symbol, so doesn't need to change and if it does it'll always be confusing. Like when you watch an old movie and they whip out an old Nokia and you can't help but think of how old it is and your mind wanders from the plot.
