Thank you for the quick reply.

Yes: You want to reformat or install an ISO to a thumb drive. You plug it in,
mount it, view it to be sure it's blank or doesn't contain any data you want to
save, then unmount it and format it or whatever.

Or you copy a file or two off of it, then hit the "Safely Remove", then realize
you wanted one more file. Too bad, you have to pull it and start all over
again.

Clearly, one can do this from the command line, but using the GUI and a mouse
has benefits. Also not all computers have easily reachable USB ports (some of
us still have desktop machines).

Conversely, why does a thumb drive need to be powered down at all? if it's
unmounted, there's no benefit to making it inaccessible, is there?
