It's not specific to virtio-scsi, in fact I expect that virtio-scsi will be almost always used with non-removable disks. However, QEMU's SCSI target is not used just for virtio-scsi (for example it can be used for USB storage), and it lets you mark a disk as removable---why? because there exists real hardware that presents itself as an SBC removable disk. The only thing that is specific to virtualization, is support for online resizing (which generates a unit attention condition CAPACITY DATA HAS CHANGED).
