USB provides only 500mA. This goes down to 100mA if connected to a laptop. So they would have to have a removable battery with external charger to keep the charge time within reasonable limits.

Why they didn't go that route, I don't know. Cellphones, mp3-players, cameras etc. can be bought with removable batteries.
