Specific examples, please.  Or you have to be kidding.

A name of a mountpoint does not change here anything.  If you browse
through a desktop you simply do not care.  But like you were told
before - your music player, and score of other programs you would
rather not reconfigure with every media change,  may care quite a
bit.
