I am confused. What damage might be done to the tablet by unmounting a flash drive?

Hardware damage? I wrote firmware for years, early in my career. Crashes rarely if ever cause hardware damage. I have never actually seen a case of it.Crashes means there a problem enough crashes, then damage can and does occur. The crash is an early warning sign to either fix the problem or stop doing the action causing the crash, ie unmount.
Physically damaged? If so, the hardware engineers should be flogged. During boot ROM development, crashing several times a day is common.
