After you’ve transfered all your data on/off, why cant you simply take out the stick? where’s the harm?

Your computer does a trick to make USB drives feel faster than they are where when you copy a big file to the drive, the computer keeps track of what’s supposed to be on the drive and pretends to be done copying as soon as it knows everything that’s supposed to be there. Then it can quietly finish copying later, and it feels to you like your USB drive is really fast.
When you “eject safely” the computer finishes all the copying it was pretending to already have done, and then tells you it’s safe to remove your drive.
