He can. That's the whole point here, really: In Kubuntu it IS possible to 
mount and unmount devices in /media the context menu. Some stuff, that you 
could do with media:/ might still be missing, but then simply more work needs 
to be done there.

media:/ is a flawed abstraction layer that actually does *not* just work but 
isn't fully compatible in lots of situations. It's exactly the kind of 
abstraction that makes KDE harder to use for several people instead of more 
user friendly. To be fair media:/ served it's purpose for a time, but if 
mounting and unmounting can be done in the 'normal' /media place, there isn't 
much reason for media:/ to stay around.
