Okay, I guess so. There are also other minor things that I don't understand
why
the device is implemented the way it is. Since I don't make it,  and I don't
work for
the company that makes it, it's beyond me.

Are you talking about USB interfaces at software layer or physical layer? I
think I'm confused here.
If it's software layer, yes, the device offers multiple USB interfaces. Each
interface has its own pipes.
But, of course, the default pipe is shared.
