It's designed to be a wireless router without a lot of extra fluff. If more lan ports are needed, add a switch behind it (though it'd probably be better to have the switch elsewhere unless it's a really simple network). The USB looks like it's used for admin tasks like updating firmware, so I don't see why they'd need to add more than USB2.0.
USB 3.1 brings this new connector, usb-c. Many newer devices use that connector these days and customers may wish for a port with that connector. If you have a laptop with such a port, you'd be able to use a usb-c to usb-c cable to connect it to the router, perhaps for debugging, without needing a usb-c to Ethernet dongle, plus Ethernet cable. Plus not needing to disconnect the single LAN port.
USB-C Serial console != USB 3.1 port. Nor does a usb-c power supply port count either.
No need to get defensive, I wasn't the one asking if there was a use for USB > 2.0. If you didn't know before, now you know. If you did already then at most you read a sentence full of information you already knew. Hardly a terrible offense. Other readers who might not have known also now know. :)
I wasn't asking if there was a use for USB 3.1, I am already aware of how it's commonly used on routers (apart from the LTE fallback the other commenter mentioned. That's pretty cool). But even so, your comment didn't list a use for it. You listed uses for usb-c, most of which it seems that it's already capable of. It's not a big deal really, just clarifying.
It's supposed to be a router, not a NAS or switch (bring your own). The LAN port being only 1 gigabit (especially with a 2.5G WAN) makes it a pass for me.
Do you need more than 1 Gbps from your wired network to your internet connection?
Otherwise you may have 2.5G or 10G LAN, or even fiber inside home like some [1], and only have to use the slow 1G to hit the internet from that. (Another 1.5G of bandwidth is available over WiFi.)
If I decide to get 2 gigabit internet, yes (and my local phone and cable companies both offer it). I also run a server in my basement (on ethernet), so not being able to get the entire bandwidth on it would be disappointing.
While it's cool that OpenWRT has their own routers, I feel that this one is not for me.
It has single USB2/3 port, but the SSUSB pins are shared with PCIe port, so you can't get USB3 and PCIe at the same time (if I'm reading the datasheet right).

They used a very cool way to analyze the Bones. Instead of chopping off samples the bones were put in a plasic Box and a tiny static upbild was enough to kick some molecules out of them which they analyzed and identified the species.
Well, it's obvious if we assume that neanderthals have close mental faculties to our own, but we don't really know that. Abstract thinking and forethought are things that we take for granted but can't just blindly assume other species have the same capabilities. In this sense, I'd say the discovery is meaningful in the sense that it gives us a bit more certainty that they did have a significant forethought capability.
I'm not sure I would jump to the same conclusions, though. Although reindeer bone tools weren't found, maybe that doesn't mean that they weren't made, just that the artifacts didn't survive as well.
Is there a better command for a cronjob to check for available updates? I try to get something like
<package name> - <current version> - <updated version>
