I think if we are reduced to discussing this so called fault it just means we are bored. My guess is no one but DPR will ever mention it after the camera is actually released.

Another factor may have been the speed of the internal bus for the SD cards. On the k-5, write speed seemed to max out at about 20MB/s on the k-3 this seemed to be about 35MB/s. USB 2.0 is 60MB/s. So while USB 3.0 sounds great, would it really have made any practical difference if the SD card sub-system could not keep up?
From a marketing view USB 3.0 would seem to be a requirement, but from an engineering view maybe it just made no sense. And if the work was already done to implement USB 2.0 why re-do it and possibly cause a cascade of other issues for no practical gain.

They stated in the interview that usb2 was already in the design from a long time back. They did not want to change the design to accommodate usb3. Why? Who knows.
