Not so. Normally, when I put a CDROM in my drive,
I want to *write* it, not *read* it. And for that I need
it unmounted. I find auto-mount a real nuisance.

I rarely use my CDROM drive for anything but making a
backup. I don't have any commercial CDROMs at all,
and it's pretty rare that I need to read one of my
backups.

This has nothing to do with auto-mount, though it is also
a pain in the lower anatomy.
