I can understand that. The onboard flash is useful for fill-flash on occasion.
Thing is, with the really outstanding high ISO performance these days you almost never actually need a flash except in the abovementioned situation where it would be nice to have some fill flash for a strongly backlit object.
The workaround is shoot in 14 bit RAW and over-expose the bright background by about 2 stops. You'll be able to recover the highlights and tons of shadow detail in post. Or, if highlight detail isn't a big deal, just use spot metering and expose for the dark subject and let the highlights blow out.
That can work, but sometimes there is not time for all that fiddling around. That is when just pushing one button to pop the flash before the subject/s walk off is a solution.
