USB product IDs only need to be unique under the vendor ID. It's
perfectly fine for vendor 0xAAAA and vendor 0xBBBB to have devices with
ID 0x1234.

That's why simply adding the product ID is enough. Once they do that to
more than one device with different drivers, things are going to become
interesting, but I don't think that's going to happen after the initial
