You are of course presuming that microsecond precision is required.
There are plenty of motion control tasks that could be performed using
less precise pulse timing. The availability of a cheap, bit-bangable
USB parallel port would enable control of such tasks from a wider range
of hardware. It doesn't take much imagination to see a variety of
possible configurations and applications for such a device. I suspect
that it's probably more 'neat' than 'useful' though.

Applications that require higher performance (of the sort for which one
might be inclined to use a Geckodrive) probably wouldn't be driven from
such a device and likely would justify spending a bit more to get better
hardware.
