You might not want this but businesses might. Rather than have to reimburse an employee's phone or provide a phone they can provide a cellular equipped device for users that regularly work outside the office but still need internet support.

I think it'll be a cold day in hell, full of flying pigs before my employer would issue me a cellular device that can't take calls.

There's millions of iPads deployed at businesses, for instance, that do just that.

How many employees are given just an iPad and no phone?

My companies entire sales force, some thousand-ish so of them. They have laptops and iPads, but we don't issue phones. They just get plan reimbursement.
