USB HID supports analog values that are not one of the 6 axes (called Sliders), meaning you can send more than 6 analog values. The WPILib does not check joysticks for these. I would assume it's to keep the packet size from getting too large, but I'm not sure. I was hoping to use USB because I originally thought it wouldn't limit the amount of data we can send, but apparently it still does (6 analogs and 12 digitals).
