So the decisive factor is not just being internal.
Sure, we can tell whether an external device is removable by looking at the hub "DeviceRemovable" bit for each port. However, the port power off mechanism will only work for roothub ports on the Intel system. I suppose external USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 hubs might actually be able to power off ports as well.
