You didn’t used to have to do that in macOS? I remember plugging in my android phone and it mounting my memory card. Is OP referring to accessing something else?

I’m a little curious what the difference is between macOS and Linux here.

There’s definitely a lot of legitimate points here and a few questions on others.
