It is a bit more complicated. Some copy protections rely on DF0: so external drives are out. An extra floppy drive eats more RAM (buffer). Some devs did not make them OS compatible because they were lazy and/or they think that most Amiga games were on 1/2 disks, not a big deal for swapping floppies.
It is on auto boot as i have 3 disk drives and 2mb ram that auto swaps if the game only looks for DFO 1 then i cant do it.. Disk are preloaded on boot you cant swap them there is no menu
