Why? There used to be a saying 'usb is for mice, firewire is for men',
though USB has grown a bit in bandwidth since then, it is still not very
well suited for a high sustained bandwidth. NOw T1/E1 is not that big, I
suspect a lack of demand. Havng a E1 termintae in your laptop is quite
useless, and a server usually has plenty of slots (if not, buy a bigger
server ;-).
