USB sticks, being of a non-uniform variety of sizes, shapes, speed, and 
reliability, are a pain to library. Inferior amount of space on which to 
write on them contributes to the library problem. Pricing of USB sticks on a 
per device basis remains much higher than OM, making creation of a single 
device for single purpose generally much more expensive than OM. There still 
exist working puters that cannot boot USB. I have several.

Not that I routinely burn OM to install Linux. For that I usually don't burn 
anything, instead installing by loading an installation kernel and initrd 
with an already installed bootloader. HTTP installation means up-to-date at 
the outset.
