Makes sense, yes.

It gives you file access to USB mounted media devices, like digital
cameras, Android and i(Pad)OS devices. Usually, those devices do not
appear locally under /media, that's why I have added them in Tramp.

The mount protocols are different depending on the device, they could be
"mtp" or "gphoto2". In order to hide these details, I have chosen the
Tramp connection method "media", which DTRT for whichever protocol. What
different Tramp connection name shall I use instead? I'm notorious bad
in selecting proper names.

Best regards, Michael.
