I thought mini-PCIe isn't a thing anymore on desktops? As far as I'm aware, they generally use either
1. M.2 cards
2. Full-size PCIe cards (WiFi+Bluetooth combo cards, the Bluetooth part may actually connect to an internal USB header)
3. USB dongles
You can buy fairly powerful desktops configured with just the on chip graphics or inexpensive business class graphics cards.
I'll add a '13' to your list.
13. Bluetooth is evil, and any desktop I have seen with Bluetooth had it on a mini-pcie card, and could be yanked. My desktop is always cabled via 1Gb Ethernet, so if yanking the BT also loses the WiFi, I don't really care.
If you are using wireless keyboards/mice, I don't know if the logitech adapters are more or less secure than BT. That could be an entire separate thread.
