I absolutely know. I actually own one and use it regularly because of bureaucracy.

It caught me a bit off-guard 10 or so years ago when I had to troubleshoot some software supporting fax features. I was like "who the hell still use fax nowadays?!", apparently germans. It isn't as prevalent in Sweden but sometimes it is used for legal binding documents, although not usually the preferred method. Must be closer to 25 years ago I used a physical fax machine.

Exactly. The „OK“ from the fax machine counts as legally binding delivered. And you even can prove what you have sent.

Especially in Pharma / Healthcare related things fax is still pretty common, though declining.
