Why does that make them more useful for end users than device filenames,

to /dev/hd* device filenames, once upon a time.
Why does that mean the correct solution is "require the user to type in
the bus number on a program's command line" rather than "configure a
particular bus number to have a particular filename"?
So does
requiring SCSI bus numbers rather than device filenames.
SCSI bus numbers are part of the SCSI CAM Standard for SCSI addressing,

are badly informed a second time.
