Price.

They actually had this planned for previous versions but it was too expensive.
Usb always was a very cheap way to do things.

So why does it cost more?

If you plug in something the other way too you have to rewire everything by an additional switch and that simply adds to cost. Not a lot but usb always was the cheapest mass market connection.
