I would say the quality is usually too poor to ship, but good enough that it can slip through unnoticed. It's like a web developer using their own photo as a placeholder for the CEO on an "About Us" page: seems like a fun lit

For the more literal people: in some weird scenarios you can actually power an MCU via its actual GPIO pins! See [0] and [1] for example. The trick here is that most MCUs have integrated ESD protection diodes on all IO pins: there's
