Apple's wide ram interface is an advantage. But they aren't doing anything exotic to achieve it. AMD & Intel could offer consumer cpus with more memory channels but they choose not to, likely for cost and market-segmentation reasons.

Isn’t having the memory integrated into the dies bit exotic for a performance desktop?

"On Package" isn't the same thing as on die. Apple's M1 LPDDR memory setup isn't really any different from what you would find in a normal PC laptop. By putting the memory as close as possible to the CPU it makes it easier to maintain signal integrity, but it's not really any different from anyone else's approach.
