There is a small problem with this approach: users have no clue how to control what modules are loaded, hotplug loads whatever was built (and recorded in modules.usbmap), and some users have keyboards that plainly refuse to work with hid, therefore vendors have to build both modules.
See this little gem, for instance: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55878
I suspect some distributions can get away with "load the right module" approach because their userbase is so small and technical that they do not hit these cases often. I think something needs fixing in hid.
