enthusiasts will want to use a dedicated graphics card, you could always just throw a low cost graphics card into your build for basic video.

Oh, absolutely.. but OEMs certainly do like having that capability there for one less thing to have to worry about putting together, and something like a NUC is impossible if you have to plug even a half-height card (/on a riser) into a PCIE slot.
And yes, enthusiasts will be using dedicated GPUs, but as I said, DX12 allows them to use multiple cards in the rendering pipeline, so although it's certainly a secondary consideration, the IGP should no longer be considered as just wasted space on the die in that department.
