To me it does! I have multiple card readers built into the computer, but on another one, I have a ext. Sandisk card reader that I use. That way I'm always safe, I do never,or never would connect my camera direct to the computer for downloading images (or for any other reason in a matter of fact), simply because I do not want to take a change of damaging my camera beyond repair!
I guess you never shoot tethered then. I have been shooting with my camera connected to a computer for many years, as do many others, and I never worried about it damaging my camera, and I have never heard of anyone damaging a camera doing so. When I have to download memory cards I just use the same cable I have in place to shoot tethered.
