So usually you would DNP the parts and they wouldn’t populate at the factory. But sometimes you have a bunch of boards already made that for some reason you can’t use for another SKU, and so you put them in another housing, and change the board for the next rev.

Mind you, I’m not saying a mic in a KVM isn’t sus, just that it’s a little obvious, and certainly not stuxnet level espionage.
