I've thought the same thing and not just with USB ports...I noticed a few "rollouts" back where BMW moved the 12 volt (cig) socket into cup holder area and I wondered who in the H3LL thought that was a good place to put an electrical outlet. They've obviously never accidentally spilt anything inserting or removing a drink from a cup holder.
To make it worse...people don't just drink water. If the drink has sugar in it...when it evaporates...it will leave a sticky residue. So even if the socket has been waterproofed...it hasn't been "sugar-proofed".
