The only reasons I wanted this was:

1) I assumed that copying books via USB would be faster than copying them via Wifi

2) Sometimes when I try to connect via Wifi it fails because my phone is plugged into the computer. Then I get a message that says that something else is already connected to calibre.

If Calibre isn't going to make a direct connection to CC, than I would never use this. I would continue to use the Wifi connection, because the results are viewable in real time, the end result is more deterministic, and you would still need the Wifi connection for some actions (ie deleting books).
