So, essentially, your entire argument is "the user can eject the disk at 
any time, therefore it's unsafe to cache anything".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the contents of the disk be 
irrepairably corrupted *anyway*? That's why there's a disk activity 
light; so you don't hit eject while it's still writing stuff.
