Yep, especially single-board computers (typically ISA capable, but also capable 
of not being in a slot (like an Advantech PCA-6145 i486 board used in lots of 
embedded PC applications).

Some microfootprint Gateways in the Celeron 900 timeframe had USB-only for 
keyboard and mouse, and I still collect USB Gateway keyboards from that era 
that have embedded two port USB hubs, so you can plug the mouse into the 
keyboard and the keyboard in the system unit; this is the One True Way 
pioneered by Sun boxen using serial keyboards and mice, remember? (tongue 
firmly in cheek....).  There are Dell keyboards like that, too.

Macs have been that way for years, too.
