Apple needs to put USB 3 on their AirPort Extreme so this can be shared over a network.

It can be shared with the USB 2 ports on the current routers. The wireless network will limit the speed of data transfer so there will be nearly no benefit from USB 3 over USB 2.

True, but my whole house is wired for gigabit Ethernet, so having the USB 3 connection would make a difference.
