It’s possible this was just added by the guy for his proof of concept, so I guess we’ll see when more information is released.
So what’s the scenario they are protecting themselves against?
I mean, if you had a USB backdoor why wouldn’t you automate the removal of evidence? It would make disposal a lot faster. You can just unplug it and physically destroy it to be safe.
I think it’s more likely they would cover it on their side with some easily erasable USB drive.
It’s definitely possible to add a feature like that to a backdoor but I don’t see how that’s a proof it’s a backdoor. It’s definitely not something backdoors always do and we don’t know if this functionality is in Windows or it’s part of the exploit. So am I missing something? Or are people just jumping to conclusions?

Why not both? Redundancy never hurt.
