Why would a company as large as Lenovo rely on crowdfunding for a small accessory? Am I missing something?

Look up closely, it doesn't even have Lenovo branding.
And on image with laptop it's showed with MacBook instead Lenovo devices.
And I didn't found any official announcement from Lenovo.
Maybe it is just some local co-branding thing for China.

It's also not a docking station.

It's a port replicator.
