How come most if not at all motherboards have an internal com port header still?
Seems like something penny pinching chinks would abolish.
Unless you interface with PLCs and stuff like that, there is no reason to have a com port on a consumer grade motherboard.

I don't know, but I wish more laptops came with a serial port since so much network gear still uses that for a console.

Maybe because removing it means changing the basics of basic in the chipset which are so old, reliable and cheap to produce that actually removing it would cost more in development and probably introduce new bugs.
You think when they design new chipset they start from scratch?
I doubt it. Also why to remove features which costs like nothing compared to the whole price of product? MB's designers aren't Apple. Yet.

For the people that still use them? It's such a basic thing I don't see why you wouldn't have at least one RS-232 header
