The image is of a website and the context is “save your place”, which is why it’s a bookmark icon: that button creates a bookmark that loads that page back up. The context here never meant “save to a floppy”.
It’s 2023, there is no context anymore for “save to a floppy”. As for the “Save” like in the meme, the contexts we have left nowadays are: “save your place”, “save to your device”, “export”, and little more. In fact the “Share” icon could replace them all, with “Share” on mobile showing, among others, options like “share with the cloud app” or “share with the file explorer app”.
I think “save to local storage”, (be it a floppy, a HDD, a SDD or whatever NVS phones use) is a timeless context that isn’t going anywhere. Share, implies lending access to someone else, it is a completely different concept than save.
