I am sure the ham radio market will switch to the more modern 
interfaces, and be quite happy to sell you another rig/amp or whatever 
when the "modern" interface becomes defunct.

That sort of thing would not be tolerated so easily in the professional 
market, which is no doubt why professional grade items tend to come with 
RS-232, and home items with USB.

If professional items need the bandwidth that RS-232 can't provide, they 
will normally use GPIB or ethernet.
