That's quite another topic. To use a USB connection to the computer for programming, the RC would need to be a USB slave. That's pretty easy, and relatively cheap. To use USB joysticks would require 1) being a USB master, which is a bit more expensive in both parts and firmware, and 2) USB drivers for any joysticks to be connected.

A USB-to-serial converter can already let a Macintosh connect to a RC's program port, by the way. Making use of that connection is only a matter of software...
