There's some patterns with 'secure USB storage', notably that none of them are anything besides a toy.
It feels like the result is going to be that literally every device you can purchase will have a always connected LTE lojack attached. Imagine trying to firewall or restrict the network in your business when literally everything has its own backbone, it'll be a complete nightmare.
The feature is intended so that you can have a link "to" http://trackersRus.com/ which forwards to http://ebay.com/, without the user seeing that bit of ugly.
It's been used in campaigns for years, I've reported probably hundreds of these distributing malware.
Services that support them either have them locked down so hard that if you lose a single Yubikey (there's often no backup second key option), you're very screwed. Others go the other option, and have too easy to reset systems, SMS fallbacks, or other total bypasses of the security tokens.
For SSH and GPG, authentication keys are generally the least of your concern. The content you're controlling are much more valuable than the authentication itself. Can an attacker just wait until you SSH somewhere, and leverage that access? Can they wait until you'd press the button for another benign purpose and use that authentication in a malicious way? The answer is almost always yes, which reduces the value of these sort of devices substantially. They don't protect against local compromise, in which case a keyfile sitting on your local host is just as secure and a lot more convenient.
This is a variation of the bad toupee fallacy. You won't notice viruses and malware, almost by definition.
