The rfkill core has no concept of what the underlying hardware implementation is. The fact that you can see the card at all is a bug triggered by the fact that we don't currently support PCIe hotplug on this type of machine (I've just sent a patch that adds a workaround for that), but the inherent reason for it happening this way is because Asus implemented it that way in their platform.
