"Built in" as soldered unto the mother boards? Or "Build in" as in an expansion card added to an expansion card slot (even if "internally")?

I assume the difference between those two would be the difference between price?

I have no idea. I would only care how well integrated it is with the operating system. But yes, maybe this is some hardware designed against accounting constraints.

I haven't looked in a recent laptop, but a while ago there was a standard for a single interior expansion card.
