I hadn't thought of that. Your average "crappy thumb drive" probably has more ECC than you'd need on a physical piece of paper. You're right.

Although when crappy thumb drives fail the whole thing tends to be unreadable or doesn't even show up as a USB device.

Generally no amount of ECC will help the default failure mode of these.
