And here I thought that these programs were used by some hams with a USB <--> RS232 converter. :-)
I really don't see any problem for a USB interface designer including a hub on the radio side of the USB interface and a USB <--> RS232 chip on one port of the hub. Other ports of the hub would provide other USB interfaces which would appear separately on the computer. One could be a sound card interface, one a headphone interface etc. We still don't have USB in full generality to the radio, but we could have a useful number of devices for ham radio with one wire to the computer. Fred, K6DGW: I hear you comments about calling it "wireless".
