I guess it's a little more compact to make it internal, but I'd think that an external USB drive would be a much better option, not compete for space in the laptop. I mean, people can't be using the thing all the time.

Though there was a point in the past when laptop vendors would design the laptop to support a secondary battery in the optical drive bay if you didn't want an internal optical drive, and that would be something I'd like. That's the only way you can exceed the 100Wh maximum on flights, if the battery is a spare removeable, not built-in.
I think I rembember modding my Macbook Pro to remove the optical drive and add a second SSD, an eternity ago.
