If we don't need it, why are they including one [that doesn't have a usb port) with the console?

Because that way people have something that resembles the conventional dual analog controller. It isn't an essential part because one Joy-con in each hand works all the same, but Nintendo is putting a grip into the package anyway. Looks like they are generous.

LOL! Master of spin.

That doesn't change the fact they went out of their way to produce two different versions of that grip and chose to include the usb port-less one.
