I  think there would be a cost issue with a receiver which had
an added USB  port or an added "thumbdrive" connector.
A dollar here and a dollar there  and pretty soon the cost of
the receiver would go from pretty high to  astronomically high.
And a receiver software upgrade may never see light of  day 
unless it is done without the user having to do a thing.

Its all about the DSP's and software.
