That was not my intent at all -- I must have worded my question poorly. 
Allow me to try again.

Your second sentence is not true, and that was my original point.  If
you have a device that gets exposed as a virtual COM port, it gets
assigned a COM port number on all of the operating systems.  Windows
calls it COM4 (or whatever).  Linux has a different naming convention,
but the number is still there.  You were objecting to dealing with the
COM port number on Windows, but the same problem exists everywhere.

I'm with Alan.  If it works for you, bulk traffic is the most common kind.
