Why would you do that though when there are a gazillion Cortex-M chips available that support hardware USB? Fast USB and you don't have to use AVR.

Hell, Atmel even sells Cortex-M chips with High Speed USB-2 support (reasonably hard to find; most are only Full Speed).

Tool Familiarity?

I've been doing embedded systems large and small for decades but before this year, never put anything with an ARM into production.

AVRs are still my go to for most things because I know them well and have all the tooling ready to go.
