Just a thought, but maybe the difference with "Safely remove drive"
(besides that it spins down) is that it unmounts all filesystems on the
device, making it safe to remove the device as a whole, rather than
unmounting what may or may not be the last FS left mounted on the
device.

the binary through strings, or by replacing it with a wrapper script

I notice that when I simply umount a USB drive, it stays powered up
