It could well be (for common threaded bulbs) a sort of socket adapter, the base containing the driver and a connector to the actual bulb/led.
The 5V choice might not be the best one, but 12 or 24 V (like commonly led strip are powered) could be fine.

A socket adapter might be the best for getting it out there though, you'd need more new electronics but no new construction work. But with a new electrical interface you could cover RGBW too. I wonder if it would be possible to make the heat sink a separate part too without needing paste or degrading performance, since heatsinks don't wear out
