What is this restriction for in terms of safety? And when connecting external drives via USB, the root password is not required. I can't understand the logic.

I usually add it touse the following rule in the fstab to connect the internal drive at runtime:

LABEL=disk /media/user/disk ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,discard,relatime,user

How would such a rule add vulnerability?
