The benefit of a built-in TC is primarily the convenience of its immediacy. It's a quick flick of the finger to use. There's no need to separate the camera and lens to install it. This is great in situations where the desire to avoid or minimize shooting disruption is critical or when weather conditions are not favorable. As you can imagine, if the camera and lens are under a rain cover while on the sidelines of a sports event, it's a PITA to quickly add/remove an external TC.
I will certainly miss having this option if it's excluded from the 200-500, which appears to be the case based on the rumors. But at least now with higher resolution sensors and the likelihood that future sports-centric cameras from Canon will be higher resolution to better match the competition's offerings, there is more flexibility to crop than was the case at ~18-20MP in the 1DX series era, where I felt the use of a TC was more of a necessity.
Seriously? Thanks for the explanation I had no idea since I remove the tc all the time  Including today.
