And when bitcoin crashes, and the exchange "gets hacked", goes bankrupt, and the owners run away to some international destination, who do you claim your USD back from?

If you're shorting, you get the $ up front and have to supply the security when you "cover". Not having to "cover" the short would actually be better.
