I think that was the point, so you don't need FireWire.  It's much nicer to
use one standard for everything than have to worry about which type of bus
this thingy plugs into and whether my PC has it.

When USB 2.0 came out I figured FireWire would eventually go away or get
stuck in a niche.  When I had the opportunity to get a video camera a few
years later, there was choice between USB 2.0 and FireWire.  I got the USB
2.0 version, hoping I'd never need to bother with FireWire.  Looks like it
worked.
