You know, you are being really dense.
| The point of USB was to introduce a better serial port system
No, it was not. The point of USB was create something better than Apple
Desktop Bus, something with higher throughput, more devices in the chain,
hardware independent, and hot-swappable.
| - the current UART devices etc. are too slow to cope with today's
| applications.
The UARTs for your aforementioned mouse and keyboard are more than
adequate, are they not?
| USB was invented to be a small, simple and high-spec interface for
| transferring data between devices, not necessarily to put them outside
| the PC.
I have yet to see a USB device other than the host controller itself to be
located inside the case.
