For a sustain pedal, thats true. But there are other factors like 
portability and additional hardware. Without modifying the hardware the 
sustain pedal can't be connected directly to the pc. You have to use a 
midi keyboard, I think. So you can't carry these things with you around.

A sustain-pedal to usb would be fine, but I am no hardware guru, so I 
don't have a clue.
