Why do people want to automount these sticks ?

I goto the root console which is always open on one of my desktops
& enter 'musb', which is a Bash alias for a 'mount' command;
when I've finished, I enter 'uusb' & wait for the prompt to come back,
which shows the stick has been successfully dismounted;
I can check its status via 'df' whenever I want.

I rarely want to use  > 1  stick at the same time,
but it wb easy to create several aliases for different dev-mnt pairs.
