You could always get yourself a small USB stick (a meg or so) and
keep stuff like that on it.

Because very few new desktops or laptops have serial ports. It's
understandable that consumers don't want to bother with USB to serial adapters.

Vendors don't want to deal with customers who can't connect the
product to their PCs. Users always ask why the device doesn't use a
USB interface or why the required USB to serial adapter wasn't
included with the product, never mind that it drives up the price for everyone.
