Hm. A nice, sound bit of advice, here, you've earned my applause.
However, he could very well be using a laptop, meaning zero upgradeability whatsoever. Remember that most integrated graphics are usually because said user is on a laptop computer, not on a desktop (though chipsets are becoming more prevalent on more recent desktops).
Hence, people who have laptops would much rather prefer to game on their laptop, chipsets and slow processors notwithstanding. Indeed, quite a few people use their computer for other purposes, and would prefer games as a nice "other" feature, but not as the main purpose, nullifying the need for a custom rig or even a desktop.
All in all, while it's good, sound advice, a lot of those assumptions could be easily rectified and less confusing if made with his specs in mind.
Argh. I'm fscking fighting about how to post in a forum. ¬_¬
