Probably just a marketing gimmick. It happens all the time.
In 1983 I bought the top-of-the-line Ortofon moving coil and it came with a beautiful 10-gram magnesium headshell. The cartridge itself weighed 11-grams. An engineer at Ortofon said to dump the headshell in the garbage and mount the cartridge in a low-mass SME III tonearm. That's why I bought a Thorens TD-126 Mk III with factory integrated SME III. I played that Ortofon MC-2000 for 10-years and it was the best sounding cartridge I've ever owned. It had an 8-Hz arm-cartridge resonance in my SME III.
Best regards,
