Not a naive question, but I guess the answer is, you don't need the Live USB creation process to do that -- you can just install to a USB key using the standard installer. The Live USB process grew out of the Live CD case, because it's a way to use one image in two different types of media. If you want a bootable stick that's simply a piece of media like a hard disk, you can do that with Anaconda at any time, booting either your system or a VM guest with boot or installation media, and then installing to the USB key. -- Paul W.
