They design the core and add DELL-specific requirements. So even in case of DELL, this part can be designed by Quanta, Compal, etc. It's a proprietary piece of system and is usually developed by ODMs. The important thing is the program that this EC runs (firmware). Which EC chip is used on a particular system doesn't matter much in terms of fan control. I suppose the IT8518E is just one of several dozens of different Embedded Controllers (EC).
Let me start from beginning and since you seem to have technical background, I can go into details
