They *do* exist, as cheap as $30 -- for VGA. Not TTL RGB (most likely
due to obvious lack of demand).
They don't pipe raw video, though; it's always compressed, usually
MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 depending on how expensive and new a device you
purchase. This is because reaching maximum USB speeds is rarely
achieved on typical (read: poor) chipset implementation of USB on cheap
PCs. The video is compressed down to something manageable, like
9mbit/s. This means even a USB 1.x port can take it.

now you know
what would be real nice...
hows about a way of sampling a video signal somehow
and piping onto a USB 2.0 port.
This sounds like a video capture dongle on steroids, frankly. I would
be surprised if such a device didn't already exist.
