Your point is a good one, but, if I was, say, Fujitsu, I'd be looking to develop a minimialist, embedded piece of hardware in the drive itself. Call it "Project Codpiece".
It would be a great way to differentiate a hard drive product in the market.
Once the idea catches on, motherboard makers can put such a device on their products, and integrate it with the BIOS, so that you get an interrupt to park hard drive and secure the power supply, as well.
