There is a workaround https://github.com/whoozle/android-file-transfer-linux/blob/master/FAQ.md#no-mtp-device-found-but-its-listed-in-lsusb, but I guess since mounting any dev-block needs sudo rights, it is viable to have this on MTPs as well, anybody should not be permitted to write/read from/to the device (just my opinion).
