I guess I will weigh-in as being neutral on the issue. I can certainly see the point. And there ARE many examples where you want to do multiple things with your USB, usually in some sort of sequential way, pending other things you do along with it. OTOH, I don't mind removing and re-inserting.
As for jlittle's post #15, that would be annoying! I tested this on my ASUS (motherboard) system:
Upon re-booting, I also did not get a UEFI option to boot from my 18.04 live USB, a surprise to me. I shut down (hitting "c" then grub>halt), powered up, entered UEFI-BIOS, and I DID then see the UEFI option to boot from that live 18.04 USB. So, my results were mixed in comparison to yours. But I do share the surprise at not being able to re-boot easily to UEFI option. Maybe if I had re-booted twice ... but then THAT is also a PITA.
Again, I'm on the fence here. I can see the problem but have become more or less accustomed to working through it, admitting the PITA factor.
