One could imagine a more sophisticated USB Condom that has a basic uC to implement (only) USB serial on both sides.

If you need all kinds of "condoms", each allowing a single protocol, you lose the "universal" part. It would be just as annoying as specialized adapters.

Also no one would have one for serial.
