They announced that they were getting into the market several years ago, at the time they acquired the Craftsman branding rights from Sears.

It looks like SB&D, owners of DeWalt, are also buying MTD, owners of Cub Cadet and a gazillion other lawn and garden tractors. The important specs are hard to come by. . . model numbers of the Kawi motors and HydroGear hydro units.

If I remember correctly....GE didn’t make water heaters either until Home Depot offered a boatload of cash to stick their name on them.

The Home Depot GE labeled water heaters were actually Rheem units with a GE label. Rheem (and its Ruud subsidiary) historically sold products, ie water heaters, through their distributors, and the GE label was a way to get around franchise agreements.
GE did actually make their own hybrid water heaters for a while about 8 or so years ago, but exited that business when they sold out to the new Chinese owners. Haier, the new owner of the brand, recently converted a refrigerator plant in the Carolinas to water heater production. The hybrids were the first water heaters GE actually manufactured, albeit it’s the new, Chinese GE, not the old domestic GE.

It is more like DeWalt markets lawn mowers. These are just repainted top line MTD mowers with few features changed for differentiation.
If you ask me why would you want to buy a machine through a marketing middle man...that just adds up to extra cost in the sales price with no change in product. I would say go get the same Cub Cadet machine where parts will be more easily identified and obtained in the future after DeWalt exits the market.
Some of these do look like nice machines with good Kawasaki engined and known hydro pumps but the can cost nealy 10k.
