The others are right, but it is possible for hardware to have installation software embedded. It’s not as common now, but consumer Dell printers about 10 years ago (and probably others, but that’s what I ran into) had drivers embedded in an internal flash ROM. You switched between using the printer as a flash drive and accessing the printer directly using the buttons on the front of the printer.
Many modern motherboards have that built in to install the manufacturer’s software, which in turn would download the latest BIOS drivers, etc. for that board.
Usually enabled by default, and after installing once, the setting in the BIOS gets disabled so it doesn’t prompt to reinstall on every boot.
My brand new Asrock X870E board I installed last week did that.
I get why they do it, but I also hate it.
