While true that you can ask the finder not to mount to the desktop which is IMO a cleaner option, wouldnt that kind of be similar to the way "My computer" is in windows? At least for a power user this makes sense.

Volumes will always appear in "Computer", regardless of whether they're set to appear on the desktop as well.
