The purpose of the ‘stupid’ safe disconnect is the same as it is today, to finalize cached writes. If you are transferring large files to the device and don’t safely remove/disconnect the device then don’t act confused because the data isn’t there when you plug it into another computer. Or do, because that’s what users do.
