    To be able to sell defective parts

    The iGPU is basically another CPU within a CPU.  It has its own voltage rails and control.  And sometimes some wind up defective and must be disabled, while the primary CPU is 100% fine.  So you disable the iGPU and sell it as dGPU required.
     
    Also note that some high end motherboards do not support iGPU because their phase setups only have room for the primary CPU.

    The i5 and the 1650 would perform alright, but I highly suggest spending the slight extra cash on a GTX 1650 super, since it has more CUDA cores, as well as better memory. This like should be helpful: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#c=476&sort=price&page=1

    Various reasons could come with it. Lower power consumption, lower costs associated with making an iGPU (or lessened losses if they’re on the chip but defective and disabled), potential binning overall, etc.

    It's cheaper for them to produce these and also means yields improve.

    Various reasons, not least that if a CPU has a faulty iGPU they can just disable it and sell it as a model without one.

    Probably cheaper for them to create a CPU that 'misses' one part. I have heard in the past it reduces temperatures, but this in a non-overclocking CPU, so I doubt that's a reasoning on this specific CPU
