for what reason live USB linux images are not 100% persistent?

I understand that during CD-R times non-persistence had a purpose, but what's the purpose now that pretty much everyone uses USB flash drivers?

not to mention USB3 sticks are pretty much 4x faster than my HD raid.

I'm writing this while taking a break going over the linux from scratch guide... And i'm still baffled that this is not the norm already with all live images.

So, Is there any reason (besides historical) that i'm missing and that will bite me after I finish this ext3-rw image?
