Plug n post more than anything, if forums are anything to go by
With Ethernet, once the card is installed, it's a simple case of connecting the PC to a modem. It's a lot less hassle than USB. In fact, if you look at this forum, you'll see that many people have trouble with it being simple - i.e. it cannot be that simple, so they try installing the drivers on the CD and end up in a right mess. There's also the VirtualTruck error, unique to USB, and the fact that the CD comes with a load of junk, including BB Medic.

I would have thought older PCs are more likely to not have a USB port than Ethernet - the latter pre-dates the former.
Your trouble is you're Ethernetist
