why haven’t USB cables replaced every other cable, like Ethernet for example? They can transmit data, audio, etc. so why not make USB ports the standard everywhere?

The cable composition isn’t as relevant as the ports they’re plugged into. A network port has all kinds of engineering history behind it which makes connecting your computer to a community of other computers a lot easier.
USB is a very short-range standard, and the standard doesn’t really lend itself to multi-node networking. It’s very much one-to-one connectivity.
