A lot of it is a rigidity and ease of use thing. If it's integrated it travels with the laptop. If it's external, you never have it when you need it.

Also, it’s not going to snap anything going into a bag in a hurry / without remembering the dongle is in.

and best of all, if I do leave something attached and shove it into my bag and break something, I'm breaking a $9 add-on card instead of the type-c port on my laptop's motherboard.
