Putting a 'home player' feature on a keyboard aimed squarely at the pro gigging musician doesn't make it a 'home' product, Ian. It simply extends the market that the product might appeal to.
Yes, I agree...it is meant for "home", and extended to the "pro" market.
Remember...all arrangers started out as "home" easy play keyboards...pros just started using them and, of course, more pro-type features, like broader chord recognition, were added.
The first arrangers were "home organs"...organs that had easy play "One-finger" accompaniments added.
It was only natural to see these features on "home keyboards"...the early arrangers like Yamaha's PS-6100, Casio's CT-series, and Korg's SAS-20.
Today's arrangers just have more features...they still evolved from, and are based on, the home market first.
