Based on the research I've done, some (if not all) sound cards with
ASIO drivers disable WDM

They probably do, while they're speaking to a program that's using the
ASIO driver. I can see situations where you might want to use both
drivers when running two programs together, for example, using a DAW
that speaks ASIO to mix audio inputs and send them out through Skype. I
think the situation there would call for telling the DAW to use the
device's WDM driver, but you might not get access to all the channels.
And I wouldn't be surprised if there are some DAWs out there that use
only ASIO to talk to the hardware.

Oh dear, I've not jumped in before because I used to know a bit about
this, but now I can't even remember any names for the effects.

Some basic usb interfaces would alter the sample rate and probably other
parameters of their wdm driver when the asio driver's sample rate was
altered and some didn't. I can't remember what the "feature" was of the
interfaces that did this, and I can't remember which ones did and which
didn't. I wonder if this relates to the asio disabling wdm question.

Old age is getting nearly as depressing as Windows 10. I did wonder if
that could be the problem, too, but we never had an answer to what OS.
