I agree.

I disagree strongly.

libusb is only intended for portability. If portability is not an
issue (like when using native APIs on other systems) then don't
bother using libusb - use the native Linux API instead.

Linux also has a HID API. Not stellar by any means and going out of
fashion, but it may work for many things.
