Something to share as an aside.
for individuals using command line Linux, the issue would be a problem
too.
Not only do hardware synthesizers like the one I use need the ports, but so
do braille embossers, printers that allow individuals who read and print
braille for personal, and commercial use.
I will add that some who embody a print disability whouse speech, that
includes say reading experiences, can read with their ears at 500 words a
minute or more.
That kind of lag would put USB adapters off the table. Encountered a
thread on the Linux list for speakup making that point recently.

I guess that a USB-to-serial dongle would be OK.
The FTDI USB-Serial adapters were very good, but then the market got flooded
with cheap PL2303-based ones that are horrible, losing whole swathes of text
during fast screen updates. They're generally only okay for slow traffic.
I haven't had to buy another one in several years so haven't sampled the
market recently.
