Most people don't really need discrete GPUs, that's why. It's mostly a concern for gamers and enthusiasts.

Furthermore, these iGPUs are incredibly energy efficient, and obviously small. That's great for battery life and PC size.

On motherboard integrated graphics is still a thing. They can still use main memory ect, but now the CPU is smaller increasing yield and lower temperature.
