From a technical view I'd think it's the SIM cards. You register and authenicate basically everthing via mobile number. If you want your bots to look like real people to the automated gatekeepers you better have a legitimate number and connect via cellular

No way they're all using wireless in that small of a space, even if it's a mix of cellular and Wi-Fi. I'm betting the USB cable is supplying power and a LAN connection. Which makes me wonder if sites could look for cellphone devices using a wired connection as a dragnet to round up troll networks.
