Ditto. It’s is hard to find non-wifi motherboards with toslink.

All the cheap boards have neither. Most of the high end boards have both

I updated my computer this year, and didn't find anything without wifi either. So it seems it's a small tax you just have to pay now.

I've at least found that the wifi+Bluetooth chips seem to be significantly more robust than the standalone bt ones.

I don't foresee any Bluetooth need either for my desktop setup. But yeah I do see that many buyers would want that for headphones if nothing else, so it makes sense to include the chip.
