(Late edit) Okay, about the small onboard MCUs, I looked a bit more into it, and these 'co-processors' actually look very limited and built into the Cortex-A8 silicon. They only support like, a single UART peripheral and very little else, and appear to be a custom RISC architecture.
Still, it's a promising step. The ESP8266 used a bullshit processor core and still became really popular.
