do I even need midi cables at all?t

apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section of the right forum, but whenever I was using my padKONTROL, or the M3, or some kind of midi controller, I would always plug in the USB cable and two midi cables to the world's worst audio interface (fastttrackpro) and go from there. it wasn't until some months ago that I started playing something in ableton with the controller connected to the computer just by USB and I'm starting to wonder what the purpose of midi cables is at all. I bought a vastly superior audio interface, (actually a few of them) and I'm going to sell some off, I guess, but the one I want to keep has no midi plugs at all. I'm not sure I care. would it be foolish to get rid of all the interface devices I have that have midi in/out ? isn't USB a quicker, simpler way to go?
