No, not 'because I say so' but simply because the fluff isn't functional rules.

Or do you actually release your drop pods from orbit when they arrive from reserve?

Yep. My Warp Talons also teleport onto the battlefield, my bolters fire miniature ordinance, and my Chaos Champion shouts out his challenges at the opposition.

Behold the power of imagination. Try imagining a scenario where you are banned from mixing Terminators with Ahriman yet can still somehow do it.
