I want something that connects to my computer like all
my other devices.
Something that does not require anything special.
A USB eeprom burner that I can use on any of my current desktop/laptop
computers is what I want.

Well, by golly, then that's what you should get; lots of them out there!
I generally find that when I have a round hole it's easier to find a round
peg instead of complaining about the corners on the square ones ;-)
I actually find an RS-232 serial interface the most flexible in terms of
machines I can connect it to, including through a USB <> serial adapter if
necessary.
I take it that "*all* your other devices" must be less than 15 years old
then, so what brings you to the Classic Computer List?
;-)
Ironic that folks on the "Classic" computer list don't even have a machine
with a serial or parallel port; I built programmers for both my PET and my
AIM65, not much more than a connector and a socket since like many classics
there were lots of available I/O pins, but from this discussion about
programmers it seems that actually _using_ a classic computer for something
useful isn't very common...
