It's not a feature, it's a curse. It forces normal users to delve deep into the arcane secrets of linux. It is one of the things that prevents linux coming out of the dank cave where its maintainers keep it all to themselves and anyone prepared to endure the initiation.

Just so you can copy a file to a USB stick.
