Clearly you wouldn't want to plug just any random USB device into a
system which expected known, bounded response times. Not that anyone
is going to be plugging any random USB device into a drone, especially
in flight ...

But is there anything about USB which makes the latencies etc for a
particular set of devices unbounded? If not, why shouldn't USB be used
in an appropriate application?
