I don't get it - are these just API wrappers with (more expensive) bitcoin pricing?

Correct. And it is tauted as a feature since you don't need "credit card, signup, or API key."

Right, but isn't it replacing that functionality with the additional need of an embedded bitcoin wallet?

The command line example in that article requires a $400 bitcoin device.
