Sorry not buying it.

Static IP via front panel controls -> no need for DHCP
crossover cable -> no need for hub/switch
Ethernet cables -> not bigger pain in the ass than USB cables
Ethernet == OS agnostic
Ethernet cables == longer distance than USB
USB == specific device drivers for Linux, Winbloze, OSX, ...
USB == potential ground issues

1st choice == Ethernet.
