What is really unnecessary is to have the ability to transfer 20GB/s from your mouse or keyboard.

That is true. Lets go back to PS/2.

If you have multiple ports driven off the same internal hub, they will share bandwidth.

You still need hardware significantly more complex than would be otherwise needed for a device for which USB 2.0 speeds were already much more than required.

I don't really understand how USB stuff works (what is the difference between a hub, interface, and controller?) but from what I've seen I think a hub supporting 20gbps would probably be in the 5-15$ range and probably not larger than a few centimeters
