Why new pixhawk hardware use USB3.0? #108

Hi! I used pixhawk for two years. I noticed that new versions of pixhawk use USB3.0 for communication. But as far as I know, there's no large data sent and received by pixhawk. Although IMU needs high frequency, maybe IIC and SPI can do this job. So I'm wondering why new pixhawk use USB3.0? Thanks!

On the new V5X, V6X , It is a type C connector with USB 2.0 FS signaling. HS is not used.
