It is annoying when copying a movie to a USB, and having to empty the entire trash bin to fit it on the USB stick. I guess it does enforce you to be a bit clean

I don't really care about .DS_store etc as they're hidden, and thumbs.db is just as bad.

This is what e.g. Samba does automatically for network-attached FAT/NTFS folders on OSX/Linux clients, if I recall.
