I keep seeing this one, and it annoys me somewhat because USB is not entirely "Plug and Play" it only seems that way because Windows has a lot of drivers to deal with various parts. USB is a serial interface, and controls can have any number of various protocols, or an entirely custom one, there's no simple way to make the OI instantly recognize and use a USB joystick, it's model specific in most cases. Yes, USB would be great, no it isn't that simple.
I think they should definitely look in to getting a company like CH to supply the parts for us to have joystick kits, I know a few teams have gone that route, and it would allow for even greater variety in controls.
