Names of devices are assigned by V4L layer, not by USB stack.
Many other devices (frame grabbers, receivers etc.) depend on these
names. In any case,
a) anyone is free to use any /dev/xxx name as long as it is
mknod'ed correctly.
b) /dev/video is already a symlink.
c) Not all video devices are input-only.
