I had similar thoughts when I first encountered a device with 
drivers "on board". But so far (around three years now) only 
wireless communication devices have shown up.

My guess is that these things are basically working with cell phone 
chipsets most of which have the "dual device" built in; many 
cellphones can USB-connect as "modem" or "storage".

So it's just a case of using what's there already and would probably 
lie around unnoticed otherwise.
