Commercially available electromagnets are too bulky, require too much power and are designed with generally physically unworkable assumptions around electrical interface types with respect to cost-effective manufacturing. In short the principle is sound, but the products are unworkable. Therefore, the coils must be integrated on-PCB to be cost effective.
