I think it's a function of cost. If it cost $100k design, build, and test prototype a feature/widget and you have 1000 users than it costs $100/user versus 10 cents/user if you have 1 million users * lots of features an you havelots of costs. I think thats why you add plug-ins or usb connectors, etc.

I was originally thinking something along those same lines. There must be a cost factor in there somewhere! Though I also do not mean cost just in terms of money.

Cost in terms of: time spent, energy used, will power needed to get it done, the 'need' cost, and lastly money cost.
