    You can disable a USB port and require remote SSH to enable it.

    USB is way safer.

      That then in turn complicates things and requires maintenance people to be educated, etc. It’s possible to do authentication and handshakes properly without complicating matters. It just wasn’t done.

        It does not complicate things in a way that makes things less secure than using Bluetooth 4.0 or earlier.
