 typically base boards would put a USB 3.0 port and USB 3.0 hub down
*IF THEY WANTED TO*.

 if however the designers of base boards wanted to do a simpler
lower-power lower-cost board that did not need USB3 or was not
expecting to have high-speed peripherals etc. then you could ignore
the 3.0 lines entirely and put a 0.5 watt power supply IC down.

 yeahhh pretty much.  or 3G modems and the like.  keyboards. mice.
anything where you can expect it to be low-ish speed.
