You can actually bit-bang low speed USB on Arduino [0]. There is even a bootloader [1] for ATtiny. It is obviously not compatible with Arduino, but those tiny boards look too cute to ignore [2]. Also, you can use USB port both for downloading firmware and your application.

I think the point was to make something in a pinch with what was already available versus making the most flexible choice.
That being said I use, I'm not the author, https://github.com/Noltari/pico-uart-bridge to turn a Raspberry Pi Pico into a USB to dual UART adapter. It appears as a CDC-ACM device so is supported under Linux and Windows without any 3rd party drivers. I replaced my MacBook Pro with a Thinkpad years ago so I have no idea what the situation is on macOS.
