Raspberry Pi boards have a separate wireless chip under the metal radio sheild: it isn’t built in to the SOC.

The 2B and earlier did not include wifi or bluetooth. The non-W zeros and picos do not. This is an absurdly cheap way to bring those up.
Also, the ESP32 Wifi seems less flaky to me. It’s bluetooth is clearly less flaky. And the ability to add LoRa is interesting.
But yeah, if you’re just grabbing a 4 or a 5, this probably doesn’t do anything for you at all.
