I think the IMEI firmware is a fluke, plus that is not really a solution for everyone as it is just a windows driver, and not everyone is dual booting. It's "Intel Management Engine Interface" only reference I can find to "IMEI" that makes sense.
On a side note, I just deleted my windows partition about a week ago and was up to date of the time, also on Dell's website the IMEI is from February 2016.
