Some peripherals require configuration after connection. Waiting for this can suck. I'm including monitors here -- a bad implementation will present, as an example, monitors out of order. Another problem you run into is inadvertently cycling through connections too quickly, which can show as devices being disconnected during initialization, causing some systems to flag the device as malfunctioning and refuse to initialize it next connection. Of course it's easy to say that these are silly problems that should have pure software fixes, but Microsoft and Apple don't exactly accept patches. Let's not pretend that software is optimal.
