We can thank gnomers, they made linux very similar to Window$ 7. Is does not power off USB devices on safely removal :) For example, Window$ XP (which is in EOL stage) powers off the port.
It seems that Nautilus and Gnome disk utility also missed 'Safely remove drive' option. I reported corresponding bugs to launchpad and upstream (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1127135 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/1127127).
