Yes, there are reaons for this. Primarily, because it usually does not
make sense to mount hardware on a different machine, since you do not
have physical access to it. The more important reason, though, is to
prevent a race condition between the local foreground user session and
other sessions. If the other sessions are faster than the local
foreground session, their g-v-m would catch the newly plugged in USB
stick faster and thus assign it to someone else. Very bad if you keep
sensitive data on it.
