Yes, I know, and the iGPU is complete dogshit. Why would I spend 2k+ on a device that is completely limited by it's GPU. It is not even able to run scaled 4k screens properly.

And regarding the size: Who cares? It's not a portable device, so make it a bit bigger and no one cares but is happy that the hardware is better.

No, he said that it does not have a (worthwhile) GPU inside the case and made the unfortunate word choice "integrated". Hence the need for an eGPU.

Your interpretation of what he/she wrote makes no sense for any non-server hardware. If it can show something on the screen it obviously has a GPU (it just might be garbage).

An 'integrated' GPU is one on the processor die, not one inside the case.

Hence why I said unfortunate word choice.
