Because the devices actually are part of the account. At least currently, 
there is no way for one specific device to belong to multiple PB accounts.

If I get you correctly, I would create some plugin that manages the device 
list, which in turn would ask the credentials providers for generic 
credentials, which happen to be the API key instead entered in the password 
field of the plain-credentials-provider.

Overall, on the first consumer ( the pushbullet-notifier-plugin which I am 
also writing ), I lose the tight type / purpose coupling between credential 
and consumer. And as soon as I need a second consumer, I would need to 
duplicate the logic and code for obtaining the list of devices, choosing 
the appropriate ones etc etc etc. I guess my only defense is that having a 
dedicated credential type just feels tidier to me :-)
