If it's fake, it's a decades old prank. I heard it used seriously pre-millennium.

It fits extremely well. Software changes regularly. Hardware never changes, while firmware is mostly fixed, but can change periodically.

then where else does firmware come from?

It gets old on the device since it's never updated and eventually it starts to ferment. Fermware -> firmware.

Well when a software and a hardware love each other very much...uh you see the SATA cable goes in the.. and then there's pin hole connectors of course.. auxiliary input... And then 2 days later the ups man brings you new firmware.

Okay bud? Alright goodnight.
