Devices running OS X handle this completely differently (with a client-client communication mode) and can gracefully handle disconnects. Older iPods used disk mode for syncing where filesystem corruption can be problematic if you unexpectedly disconnect.

And they probably had to make it work without problem for the iPhone, since a phone call can pop up at any time.
