i don't think it makes sense a disk will go away to a user from /disks
once it was attached, etc.
why not show here all disks?

well i guess its a way of looking at it,
personally i think that there is no reason blocking data from the user,
let the user decide if he would like to see all disks, or filter it with a simple query.
you mentioned common usage,
private templates also return in /templates, no? no one can use them but one user.
maybe im the storage guy, and my 'usage' in the disks tab is to see how people
are handling disks and storage
(probably not so good example but just trying to say don't hide info from the users,
you don't know all the use cases)
not sure this is the same:
private template will not show to a user without relevant permissions
via the user api.
admin api shows all objects, hence the private template as well.
