Um, no; _many_ machines have USB.
[The boards I work with all have a UART _on the CPU chip_, so it's pretty cheap to give them a serial connection, and many of them have a network connection because it's needed -- but none of them have USB...
Even if you're talking about just PCs, most of the PCs I use are slightly old, and don't have USB; maybe I'm just from mars or something, but it's always kind of annoying to see people talking as if USB were universal...]
