Why USB 2.0 instead of 3.0?

Any idea why they are going with USB 2.0 instead of 3.0? By the time these get to market and are readily available, 3.0 will be the new standard. Why stress the "always up-to-date" with cloud computing, then put in an out-going technology with 2.0?

No relation to chrome os but I've had trouble with usb 3.0 drivers for Linux. I had installation problems with Ubuntu, Fedora and Mint when I had anything plugged in to my 3.0 port; remove the device and all releases installed OK. I don't have any 3.0 devices but all of my 2.0 components work fine in the 3.0 port after the install.
