I am not disputing your point, but want to add that the USB->serial adapters I have had, 3 different types, were prone to lightning damage if not disconnected. I have suffered damage to a serial port, too, over 25 years ago when the discrete driver chips were replaceable. But not in 10 years in Florida, lightning capital of the US.
I am surprised that you have had no other trouble with your adapters. I have a PIC programmer that balks occasionally.
