Who cares about x86, it's all bloated, you're never writing assembly for it, everything is going through a compiler, if your program isn't open source it's not good anyway, and if it is open source, it can be fixed up and compiled to whatever processor architecture you want (assuming it doesn't interact with the hardware directly but goes through the kernel or drivers).
If your processor has built in USB hardware and you use an IDE that gives you libraries to use it, fine. You don't know what's going on in those binaries or in the hardware. If something breaks, how are you debugging it? If you run into bugs? Do you know under which license the library is written and if it allows you to use it in a commercial product?
If you don't *need* USB for its hot plug, convenience, or transfer speeds, why build in unnecessary complexity?

As an engineer I vet the licenses of any open source tool chains.

You can do this thing called include a license file in your local repositories.
