why do we need a * USB port ?

I've asked the question but before you reply, think for a moment.

Why aren't we seeing a phone that uses conductive charging with * technology used to access USB storage ?

Do we really need a USB port ?

Because there isn't a widespread conductive charging standard that all the manufacturers are ok with. And USB is still cheaper to manufacture and produce. It would also be pretty hard to use ADB without a hardline connection to your computer.
