That's pretty much how iCloud Drive works, except it's not over USB.

Isn't this iCloud Backup? I've used it to restore our iPad several times and it worked great with no fuss.

I personally use iCloud Backup but some people don’t want to pay for extra storage space and others have privacy concerns.
What Apple should do....
- When you attach an iOS device to a computer, expose a file system (not the file system) with "folders" that represent each apps local storage and let you copy files back and forth instead of forcing you to use iTunes to copy files into the app's local storage.
- Enable you to buy media on the web (app, books, etc.) that automatically gets downloaded to your device (like Google). They are so close to doing that now.
- Create a simple iOS backup and restore program for ios devices.
- iTunes should only play and manage music and movies.
- Enable the creation of smart playlists on devices.
