You mean the bow-thrusters? I think the larger ones are hydraulic motors, but I'm pretty sure the smaller ones are likely electric.

No, it really isn't. Lots and lots of these motors are made, because the vast majority of them are used for pumping well water. The motor you see in the pic is sort of a "glorified" version of a well motor, with special bearings, etc. Because they manufacture these in such vast quantities, it helps keep the cost down.
And as we all know, we all have to get our water from a well of sorts, -somewhere.....
