If that is the case, then why not get a USB oscilloscope?

I could be wrong but I got the impression it was only on that new model, and mostly because it's usually screwed to a pretty stand.
Lots of people have commented on it though. Maybe it will become more common.

Mainly because it's nice to have the web interface (or hdmi, like the mso5K) but maybe it's a bit unwise to give up integrated display, buttons and knobs altogether.
Anyway, apart from the Picos, what quality usb scope are present on the market? Consider that a 4-channel Pico around 100 MHz exceed the cost of the scopes we discussed in this thread. I think they start around 1500 eur.

I can't imagine PicoScope is the only manufacturer of decent USB oscilloscopes out there. But I have not really investigated that market segment myself.

nb. You don't get any more pixels. It's just the 'scope's screen scaled to a window.
With a USB 'scope (or Analog Discovery) you actually get more information on screen when you make the window bigger.
HDMI capture for a PC can be had very cheaply. https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=hdmi+capture+usb
I'm not sure I'd give up a touch screen interface on the 'scope just to have remote access from a PC.
