"USB was not designed to be galvanically isolated..."
Indeed so. Unlike USB, Ethernet was specifically designed to be galvanically isolated. I was in the standards meetings where various safety gurus explained all the dangers involved when signal cables run across different electrical domains. I can relate to their arguments, because I have had more than my share of shocking experiences.
