The "web OS" concept is a retread of mainframe-terminal, which was the background of the "personal" computer revolution. Laptops, USB devices, live CDs, etc. are making it even more obsolete.
Of course certain corporate interests would like to reverse the PC revolution and put people on the web. Google is just one of them.
You really had to stretch to find problems with USB. Who does serious work at "public" terminals? PCs are so ubiquitous now that borrowing one from a friend or at coworker is 95% of cases. Your strained "permission denied" scenario is very artificial. In that case you should be using a laptop.
