It's not specific to virtio-scsi, in fact I expect that virtio-scsi will
be almost always used with non-removable disks.
However, QEMU's SCSI target is not used just for virtio-scsi (for
example it can be used for USB storage), and it lets you mark a disk as
removable---why? because there exists real hardware that presents itself
as an SBC removable disk. The only thing that is specific to
virtualization, is support for online resizing (which generates a unit
attention condition CAPACITY DATA HAS CHANGED).
