Looks like these may be the smallest of their type right now, but other companies have been having these too in a somewhat larger form factor for quite a number of years.

I expect some of the alternative companies will be developing their own in this small size before too long as well.

Might be worth waiting for in case there is any skepticism about Broadcom's documented behavior as a moving target when it comes to ethics & integrity in relation to their customers.
