dx1Having separate dongles for network, audio, video etc. is even worse than just having specific cables for each
If you don’t have a dongle, the dongle is basically just hidden inside (a chip on the main board or an extension card). Being able to add dongles is a very easy way to quickly add things like wifi. Otherwise you’d have to open the PC and mount a card and the number of slots inside is also limited. So yeah, builtin is good, but also no, dongles can be better. It’s just a different option.

It could still have different encryption keys for each device / manufacturer by upgrading / installing drivers, but at least the radio packet protocol would be the same which would keep the hardware universal. Kind of like how smart home hubs (Zigbee / Bluetooth / 433Hz / etc) work.
But we all know how creating a new “universal” protocol goes from experience (ie USB “standards”).
