We used to include TUR in the sequence and there have been some number of devices which worked fine for a while but lock up eventually. Windows only issues CHECK_MEDIA_EVENT_STATUS so nobody has tested extended TUR cycles and nobody is fixing an optical drive EOL'd six months ago either, so what I or you think or feel doesn't matter in the end. The most important thing is we provide drivers which allow proper operation and, sadly, at this point, the best way to get there is following what windows does. It's not like we lose any functionality that way anyway. If windows isn't spinning down the drive, it is highly unlikely that missing that harms anything and it's highly like there are a bunch of devices which would go "uh... what the hell is this? I don't know this. osidfjalekjalkgjs". So, there simply is no point at all.
