No. There is no other choice. USB had to kill all potential competitors to secure its spot on the market and jealously guards it using patents and marketplace position. Before there was USB there were other conceptualizations of a multi-device system. One such idea used a scsi subsystem with various connectors available. No need for an entirely new bus spec. USB was initially marketed as a bus to end all buses. Soon everything would be usb. The entire world would experience happiness and functionality never before dreamed because usb was going to solve all the hassles.
