Use removable media for anything that is available locally but can be physically removed: CD, DVD, hard disk, USB stick.
Use network for any network file system that can come and go, but has no physical equivalent locally on your machine.
The reason is that the KDE hardware layer, Solid, tells us about physical devices but we know nothing about network shares. It's very simple currently, they're there, or the directory is empty (assuming network disconnected)
