This came up in discussion some time ago.
As you say, Alain, the need for drivers would be the deciding factor.
IIRC it's not the USB port driver as such, but the individual drivers
for any particular device connected to it as well.
Even on the PC scene, available harder becomes obsolescent in such a
short time that as soon as a driver got written I guess the hardware
would no longer be sold and quickly back to square 1.
(For those who don't know Alain, I think he wrote many QL programs in
QLCF software library many years ago!)

Subject: [ql-users] Réf. : Re: Spare GC or SGC?
I am wondering from some time ago, if it is possible to consider an
USB
port implementation on a new QL hardware. This, it will be a real leap
for
the QL community as it opens the door for a planty of low cost and
efficient peripherals and gets down the need for developping others
extensions. I don't know if this kind of thing could be looked in this
project but if it is, i will be interested for a couple of pièces. I
must
however admit that the need for drivers for a such devices will be
determinant.

.. but not graphics I think. That would still have to be down to the
motherboard.
