Well.  M.2 for example is not hotpluggable, as are soldered on BGA
devices or a lot of not quite PCIe devices that actually sit on CPUs
or shipset components.  But for all but the last category an upstream
bridge could still be hot plugged, so not supporting it in drivers is
indeed generally speaking a bad idea.
