If the windows situation were the same then the networked PCs couldn't see the windows "mounted" sd card. It's simply wrong. |
No. The point is that you simply do not understand how the technology has to work. Saying it should work some other way is pointless.

The way it works is wrong.
There is no reason it should be that way and it does cause problems as you indicate.

Imagine if your car, which must be driven only by the person "mounted" in the driver seat, suddenly began responding to direct commands from the "backseat driver" who wants to go somewhere else other than where you, as the "frontseat driver" want to go, and overriding your input?
That is how you are saying drives should work. It's clearly
not how they should work. Your idea of how they should work would cause
far worse problems than are caused by how they actually do work.
Note that you, as the car's driver, can listen to what the guy in the backseat says, and take him where he wants to go, but it's up to you, as the one and only one actual driver, to make those decisions and steer the car. That's your "networking" going on.
Are there shortcomings to how the technology works? Yes. Are they better than the alternatives?
Yes.
