Couple reasons: This is chip is a drop in replacement on our hardware
and won't require any adjustments to the firmware running on the
device. Also, I didn't have much influence on the decision.

Not sure how to take this. Sounds a bit cynical. I'm currently using
libusb/WinUSB on Windows to communicate with my device w/o specifying
a COM port. Considering COM ports are in general a Windows only topic,
I guess this is already accomplished. But as I'm not yet a 'Software
Wizard' and admittedly very ignorant on this entire subject, I welcome
any insight those with more experience than myself can offer.

I've come to realize that CDC ACM is meant for networking devices, for
which mine is not. However, I do appear to be able to accomplish what
I want using bulk transfers via Libusbx. Are there major issues with
this that I'm not aware of?
