Let's say that someone managed to get close enough to check if your claims that a hidden volume exists is correct, and you unplug the drive to stop it, without this feature, you would still get caught and maybe forced to unlock the volume. With this feature VeraCrypt would dismount the volume and clear the RAM for that volume's mount info (So that the state of the system can't leak that there was a volume mounted). This would stop you from getting caught and would keep plausible deniability intact.

Idk, this feature would have no UI. But if there must, a checkbox in the settings to enable this?
Additional information
Currently in this state, that feature would be complete enough to save plausible deniability, but make sure it works on all volume types (including normal), if it only works on hidden or outer volumes, someone with knowledge of VeraCrypt could know you have something hidden. But also for macOS users, this could also be something that could fix the bug of macOS freezing if a volume is unplugged without dismounting in VeraCrypt because macOS doesn't freeze if the volume is unmounted within VeraCrypt quick enough.
