I think it's more than security. I think Crostini is basically a virtual machine running in ChromeOS. It's kind of weird because ChromeOS is a modified Linux distribution also (Gentoo), but Crostini is Debian. At any rate, accessing USB ports via a VM has always been a little tricky. It has two layers to get through.
