Any Mac owner will certainly recognize this quaint quirk of MacOS

It's neither quaint nor a quirk. Avoiding disconnecting a storage device while it may be actively being read or written is a Good Thing™.
Well, yeah. But the most common setting for me is getting photos off a CF flash card. When I've taken the photos off, I can either

1) click on the eject icon next to the name of the card in iPhoto ('untitled") and wait (it takes a while!) or
2) dig around on the desktop to try to find the desktop icon and drag it to the trash (a horribly non-intuitive action) or
3) just yank the damn thing out and have my Mac tut-tut at me.

I choose #3.
