I have recently purchased 2 hobbywing flyfun 20A ESCs, these too have switching regulators.
I'm doing it for the size and weight, but also improvement to battery life, as a switching regulator doesn't have the losses associated with linear regulators (on a linear regulator, everything above 5V is turned into heat which is wasted, whereas switching regulators can be upwards of 85% efficient and it doesn't matter (within limits) what the input voltage is)
