Many professional microphones are available as with both USB or XLR connections depending on how the cable is terminated. You can also purchase XLR to USB adapters that adapt your beloved existing microphone.
As GuitarHacker pointed out, it was the wild, wild west when USB was the new kid on the block but time has a way of softening the rough edges.
