Why should I remove the hard drive from a computer used with tails? gaming computer builder

I'm a tails user/advocate living in an oppressive country, and I just had a quick question about Tails amnesic properties.

I know that Tails is an amnesic system and leaves no traces on the computer on which it's used, but I've also heard that one should buy a second computer with the hard drive taken out in order to really use tails securely. (this was not a official instruction, but I've heard it mentioned multiple times)

The are only 2 reasons to remove the hard drive (that I can think of). 1: is so that if you accidentally boot to the hard drive your mac address is not broadcasted to nearby routers (I have a boot menu enabled in the bios to prevent this from occurring). 2:So that if you accidentally boot to the os on the harddrive, it does not detect and log the usb serial number. (this is a minor issue and for most not a concern)

Are there any additional security concerns anyone can think of in using tails in a computer containing a hard drive (containing a unsecured personal windows os)?
