A small note: PPTP works on top of IP, it is a VPN protocol.
It encapsulates PPP protocol (which I believe you were talking about).

PPP can run IP over point-to-point connections like VPNs or serial/com
ports (connected either directly or with dial up modems).
There are alot of serial ports for USB and Linux supports them:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/usb/usb-serial.html
So, it should be possible to run PPP-over-usb with a usb serial converter.

There are ethernet adapters for USB, but not of all of them are supported
by Linux
