There is one difference: the wifi drivers don't ship together as the xf86-* video drivers do (for instance, nvidia is outside of xorg-video).

The xorg-video-drivers and xorg-input-drivers are official drivers as shipped by the X.org project. Nvidia drivers don't belong to this group.
The linux-firmware package is a combination of firmware packages that is maintained in a single repository by kernel developers.

I don't see the use of adding a bunch of random kernel modules to a group. If they were a project, it would make sense.
