Do they? How many semi-Pro's do really care about built-in flash?

I think that isn't the right question exactly. It probably should be "how many people likely to buy an A77 class camera care about built-in flash?"
Personally I rarely carry an external flash unless I know I will need it. Pop-up flash can come in handy at times.
Also, I think the complaint wasn't necessarily about using the body flash as a flash, but maybe as a flash controller. It can be nice not to have another gadget around to control external flashes.
