The limitations of this tool are obvious from the author's documentation. Plus, a door lock would prevent this from working, so if you're living in a recent house and have thick door and lock the door, you don't have to worry about this attack vector. It's strongly suggested to also hot glue your USB ports shut for added security.

I don't see any reason to stop at my USB ports. Take a hot glue gun with you where ever you go, and glue them all shut as soon as you find them. Help make the world a better place.

I've heard Big Brother has an arrest warrant out for you because you're making devices too secure.

I'll just unplug your mouse / keyboard / wifi dongle and get to the USB port that it's using. Unless you are suggesting that modern computers should ship with zero USB ports.

Jokes on you, I'll open the computer case and plug directly into the mobo

You couldn't, the case cover is hot-glued to the case. Hot-glue is the epitome of Windows security.

These days I would simply let the PC in the sun until it melts all glue.

/s (not so much)

Can't, the PC is hot glued to the floor

All the cards should be hot glued into place, and any extra connectors hotglued as well. The solution to not enough hotglue is simply more hotglue!

PS/2 is still available for mouse/keyboard (and secure). Wifi dongles are abomination. Worst case, hotglue those into the port.
