While the rest of your post is logical, this is insane cope. No one is buying integrated graphics for gaming. 2050s are a joke in terms of power - you’re talking about a 2 year old budget mobile gpu… If anything this is basically a “I need to do some photoshop but don’t want a dedicated gpu on my laptop” type card.
