Why are new models still using USB 2.0?

The USB controller on the Mirics chipset is USB 2.0

Got that but why not advance the design to incorporate modern interfaces. USB 3.0, USB 3.1, etc...

I'm not sure I understand the question. I use RSPs on USB 3.0 portx often - we recommend using USB 2.0 ports because not all USB 3.0 controller ICs are fully backwards compatible - we've certainly seen some Chinese USB 3.0 boards that have poor/little USB 2.0 support and certainly no isochronous support (which is what the hardware driver uses to guarantee the bandwidth)
