Scanning for all devices on startup is a design decision dating back to
the initial development of GParted.
A work-around to scanning only the devices required is to pass these on
the commmand line to gparted.
You are free to submit a patch upstream [1] to alter this behaviour.

Yeahr, it should first only list the devices and then, the choosen one
(or directly at the start the first one) should be scanned.

Title:
Which devices are present should be as simple as looking what files are
in /dev... reading the partition tables and identifying filesystems
though... why does gparted care unless and until you have chosen to show
that drive?

what partition tables these contain, what file systems are in the
partitions, and other details such as volume labels, free space, UUID,

You might create an icon on the desktop or in the menu system with the
command line parameters that you desire to only access a USB drive when
it is plugged in.
For example if you have two internal hard disk drives (/dev/sda and
/dev/sdb), then a newly inserted USB drive should receive device

GParted already supports scanning only the devices you pass to it. This

For example if you wish to scan only /dev/sdf, you can use the
following:
sudo gparted /dev/sdf
See the GParted Manual [1] for more information.
