  Fug!

  Configurable option. Charge my iPhone, don’t power a bug.

  Feature. It allows, among other things, for a computer to be woken up via the (USB-connected) keyboard.

    Also a branding/design feature. I've encountered extended color coding on multiple gaming oriented motherboards: Black for USB 2, Blue for USB 3.1 (so far so standard), Red for persistently powered. That way you can have your phone connected to that port and have it charge overnight, etc.

    Or USB connected IR/RF remote (think media center PC's)

  I’d call it a feature. I sometimes need to harvest energy from my computer’s power supply to charge my phone without the computer being on (waste of energy)
