Why still USB 2.0?

I have noted many streamers , or int. amp still having USB 2.0 on their machine, especially the USB B socket.But form computer pov today is USB 3.0 or above dominant already, and type  C plugs are widely abailable . Why the audio industry still prefer the USB 2.0?

I expect if USB 3.x was lower noise than 2.0 it would be in use.
