I think you're vastly underestimating the devices that have a modifiable firmware on them that connect to busses other than USB.
However, the one thing that is unique to USB is the nature in which USB storage devices are shared between multiple devices.

I was not underestimating the vulnerability of SATA and other on-board communications protocols. I was ignoring them because the parts connected to these are generally not moved between machines. Yes, you could infect these devices and hope they spread through the secondary market to a desirable target, but the utility of such an attack is very limited.
