But it is separate devices. At least the standards compliant usb storage devices just are a bride of scsi commands over usb and fit into the SAM device model, which makes a difference between initiator, target and LUN. So having a different device for the specific target vs the initiator port makes a difference. (and yes, we're still totally missing support for multiple luns, which would require another level of devices). Trying to hide this is not all that useful - not anymore useful than hiding it on a "normal" scsi host controller anyway.
