The audience of this router most likely already has a standalone switch within their network.

I have 3 but they’re not close to the router. (What I’m saying is: I’m likely target audience, but I don’t have an additional switch nearby, since so far any router I had also had a built in switch.)

But yeah, I get it. Modularity makes sense for repairability.
