I'm not an engineer but I can think of multiple legitimate reasons for these microphones. Noise cancellation for instance, not for just what you hear, but also for when you are speaking.
The problem of course is that while there may be plenty of completely valid reasons for these items to exist, their very existence means that they can be co-opted for things that are nefarious.
