I wouldn't worry that you can't technically "Eject" a USB stick. If the user
only sees "Eject", will the user think "technically I cannot eject a USB
device because the USB port lacks the mechanism to forcefully remove the
occupying plug, so I am not sure what to do at this point." Or, will the
user be more confused if they see both "Eject" and "Safely Remove?" I think
the latter case (both are shown) is more likely to confuse, therefore we
should only show "Eject".
For 10.10, we should find a better word than "Eject" -- something with good
semantics for CDs and other media.
