If I understand correctly those are just somewhat cheaper per unit and some of them do run on lines that are not electrified. So it happens that a diesel train runs entirely (or often partially) on electrified lines like in the photo I gave.
I said "diesel" as a mental shortcut for diesel and diesel-electric, but certainly not for electro-diesel.
