Yes, blind users do use USB-serial adapters. Many have older, serial-only 
displays but newer laptops which don't have serial ports.

Perhaps (I'm just guessing) a user with a USB-serial adapter complained that 
selecting USB didn't work so they thought they had it wrong.

Maybe Ubuntu shouldn't try to create /etc/brltty.conf if it already exists. 
That'd also solve the prompt on every boot issue.

>I better reinstall my system.

There's no need for that at all. Just report to the Ubuntu people that they 
need to offer two options for USB, i.e. one for direct USB and another for 
USB-serial.
