I have encountered internally wired USB devices in two cases:
  1. An old Thinkpad connected the internal optical drive via USB.
  2. An internal card reader that fits a 3.5" drive bay and connects to a USB header.
In both cases, a full "Eject" of the device rendered it unusable till next reboot.

But I agree they are rare and we should not be punishing everyone just to avoid problems with such devices.
