I'm confused about this

I was kinda lucky with my two 360s and got one with a Benq drive and one with a Liteon 83v1, which you can flash without fully opening it and without any tools like a spear etc!
Now that I don't have these utilities, I do think, that we'll still need them with this Xecuter X360 USB Pro / new Maximus? Like a spear for Liteon 7x to read the key?
It's just about the USB plug, so people don't struggle with VIA drivers anymore?

I am allmost certain that the driver problems and SATA incompatibilities will be gone with a complete USB solution. This is what logic says. But, I doubt that we will avoid any "spear" trick. We will still need to do so.
