Yea I think overall, the exclusion of the iGPU on AMD CPUs was to cut costs until they proved themselves to be a true competitor to Intel in all fronts. Now that they are, having the iGPU makes sense as I am sure companies like Dell wants to make PCs with only the iGPUs and the CPU instead of dGPU. And while AMD does have APUs, those do have less cache and etc and not to mention they come out later. This will also help in situations like what we have today where you can get a CPU relatively easily but have to wait for the GPU. So people could choose Intel cpus for their iGPU while they wait for an actual dGPU.
This does mean that CPUs will only get more expensive. The question will be just how much more.
