I think it's mostly historical. I'm pretty sure that it was originally
tied in very intimately to ADB. These days it's tied into the input
system, and is mostly independent. It does declare itself to be an
ADB device, tho. I'm not sure if that will confuse anything if there
isn't ADB support in the kernel.

I'm pretty sure it isn't intentional. I suspect noone cared enough to
fix the dependency when it was no longer important.
