Indeed, many devices present themselves as things like CDC ACM, CDC NCM,
...  I assume it's because it's easier for the developers to work with
a communication protocol like RS-232 or like Ethernet (where you can
re-use loads of existing tools and expertise) than with the actual USB
protocol, which is less widely known (and with a less standardized API).
