We had fbx for decades, only difference is that it wasn't open source. Even better USD is an art format, nearly every concept it supports is for art direction, comparison of various designs, hiding of details that may get in the way of some modellers work. It isn't dynamic, it doesn't even have the concept of level of detail, so it will render a 10 million poly model even if all you see is a three pixel wide spot on the screen.
