I don't know the reason for it, but at least I can confirm that an USB
stick is shown as a spinning device and that this is issue isn't
related to Ubuntu and/or Grizzly's install.

$ lsb_release -d
Description:	Arch Linux
$ lsblk --v
lsblk from util-linux 2.33.1
$ lsblk -d -o NAME,ROTA
NAME ROTA
sda     0 an internal ssd
sdb     0 an internal ssd
sdc     0 an internal ssd
sdd     0 an internal ssd
sde     1 an USB stick
sdf     1 an USB HDD
sr0     1 an internal DVD drive

I wonder what would happen, if I would connect an USB SDD.
