Even now if someone has physical access to your Windows computer and it has a USB port, they will get through.
Not if you activated a BIOS password which blocks booting from USB (and can't be reset by jumpers or removing the CMOS battery on modern motherboards), or Bitlocker which blocks copying cmd.exe over the accessibility options.
Well yeah. But that depends on a person doing it.
I wonder how hard it would be to set up a machine so that it modifies or melts a USB drive being used like that.
