If there's no other connections to the device, then sure you could do that.

However usually there is. For example, the device might need +5V or +3.3V as well.

Well you can't supply +5V and PSU ground as separate leads, because almost always multiple ground connections are internally connected in a device.

Thus that would mean the +5V rail gets shorted to (PSU) ground by the device.
