Yes but in the words of my dad - you could buy extra roll of film literally anywhere, for not a whole lot of money. When you were on holiday with only that one 50-photo large memory stick, and no way to empty it before going home, that's a big problem.
I remember being in Bangkok in mid 2000s on vacation and walking the streets looking for a store to burn a CD with our pictures/video so we could delete the memory stick and use it for more pictures (forget what format it was, might or might not have been Sony). I think we found a shop that did it pretty quickly.
