What you are actually counting are some pulses, and only the implementation of the hardware leads to the interpretation of these pulses as for example steps. Other devices for this category would be pulse counters - either stand alone, or as part of SoCs. Some use cases I could think of are: liquid/gas flow measurements, engine rotation/RPM counts, object counts, ... Any opinions?
