In my experience, because:
A) The card reader doesn't send a signal that a card's been inserted (mine
doesn't...in fact, it didn't even mount when I popped the cord out and
back in...and I set "auto" on from "noauto", just to test).
B) Even with CDs, which often automount when the drive drawer closes, you
can't "auto-unmount" because once a disc is and mounted, the drive is
locked, so that the eject button doesn't even work.
I'm fairly sure putting the card in and running the command is the only
way to go.
