But most people are only buying the flash drives that write at 3MBps and read at 6MBps anyways... I doubt many people will pay a premium for these when hardly anywhere buys the current faster models.
I don't know about "most people", but I searched long and hard to find the fastest high-capacity USB FLash drive available where I live (Denmark) and it wasn't even particularly expensive compared to slower flash drives.

A-Data Professional PD7-200x 8 GB: Read/Write = 33/21 MB/s

Now using one of my older slower flash drives is painful. ;)
