Because it's the sort of thing you can tape to the underside of a desk, or slip into a ceiling plenum without it getting noticed very quickly?

Surely a normal tablet or closed laptop will look far more inconspicuous just lying around an office.

Depends on the environment. If I saw a new laptop in my office I'd notice it immediately because we've only got one laptop. A huge office with machines all over the damn place, sure that would probably work just as well.

Not in an environment with any level of decent IT management going on. Most managed IT environments look fairly homogenous in terms of gear, and anything that's not an exact or very close match will immediately draw attention.
