Interesting side effect of making USB ubiquitous. There are even laws saying it must be used instead of proprietary connectors.

At this point, it is likely cost prohibitive to make a proprietary connector that is not USB.

Perhaps the relevant standards body should take these sorts of needs into account for things like USB which are meant to be used universally. The last thing we need is 'medical grade USB' that costs 100x normal USB.
