Nearly no users, power hungry (although that has gotten better), bulky. And what connector do you use? 10Gig Base-T? Not really common and power intensive. SFP+ port? Really bulky. There are Thunderbolt adapters. USB3.0 only has 4Gbit/s available, ExpressCard only 2GBit/s, so both aren't really good options.

Point-in-fact, 10G-base-T is exactly where Intel is trying to take the market.

USB 3.1 is 10Gbps I believe.
