Ok, it's clear to me that you don't understand what I am saying. At no point have I said anything about it being free or that this is mandatory and only choice. As always, market forces will dictate if there's a demand.
Integration of features is always a thing. Cars at one point didn't have radios or ways to play music. Guess what? It came along. And people accepted what they were given or replaced it with something else. If I was to buy a luxury car that comes with a sound system, I'd be expecting that sound system to match the expectations of what I'm buying, i.e. top quality, etc.
Stop zoning in on dew heaters - they're just one example of a feature that could be integrated. Also, I had to "throw out" the focuser on one of my scopes because it was not up to task and it was not electronically controllable. According to your reasoning, this included focuser is something I should not have had to buy, since it wasn't something I could use. Yet a basic focuser is included ("integrated") with every scope, because it's expected, and the market demands it.
On other astro related items - Celestron and others sell combined (or "integrated") scope and mounts. Now I may not want them, but someone certainly does as they obviously sell.
