From what I see in the forums, hardly anybody still burns the ISO to an optic medium, USB simply is faster, more reliable. That said, none of these provide a solution to your issue @dimstar. But the thought has come to mind to get rid of that barrier. Those who insist on optical media can use the NET install if they want, but my bet is that most will use USB, and only care that the image fits on an 8 GB stick.
But some large organizations forbid the use of USB memory sticks for security reasons. I know, it doesn't make any sense, but it is what it is. Further, large organizations may forbid network connections to the broad Internet from classified networks. How could an OS be installed on an insular network that forbids USB sticks if not for the DVD? Multiple DVD's would work, one to "bootstrap" a minimal system, with additional DVD's to set up local repositories. This has been called "sneaker netting", and I've done it a time or two with 50-GB Blue-Ray disks.
