I believe you are vastly underestimating the overhead. It costs us thousands to get a LAN drop installed in my building.  While it may be my opinion that it is way over priced that is still the cost .

110V power is already in the structure, likely within a metre or two of the USB location. Connecting two 110V wires takes seconds. Compare that to say, 50m of CAT6 cable, running it through ceilings and/or walls, and crimping RJ-45 connecters at both ends. It's not the same.

But we can agree to disagree on this.

To be fair, what would cost us 100 dollars in parts and 10 minutes of time would cost the government at least 5k if not more. Got to love government waste.
