To accomplish this task, your computer connected to your Arduino's serial interface, allowing any software capable of interfacing with a serial port to talk to your Arduino. While this is really useful for basic data transfer, it doesn't even come close to using the full potential of what a native USB connection is capable of.
USB is the international de facto standard for connecting computer peripherals; its capabilities are ever expanding with USB SuperSpeed and USB-C connectors that can transport data, HD video, enough power to charge a laptop, and more.
