Using laptop mic’s fixes bluetooth issue and massively improves audio quality

Then it sounds like you are playing the bongos if you type during a meeting.

And like you're in an airplane hangar when the laptop gets a bit hot.

Yeah it's better than Bluetooth but a mic next to your mouth works far better than a mic in your laptop no matter how good it is.

I have a M1 MacBook Air and what I said is still true. It's a matter of physics.

Really depends on the laptop. On my work laptop, the microphone is located next to the fans (instead of for instance next to the webcam). You can imagine the audio quality.

This also depends on what service you are using. I have done video calls over Jitsi where nobody reported any issues, but immediately after a switch to Discord my voice got apparently drowned in so much noise nobody could understand me and people could only continue talking after I muted myself.
