I am not a pro, but I love external flashes. They make a huge difference in many situations. I love natural light even more, but good natural light is not always available.

Since cameras already have many extra electronic functions like wi-fi, gps, etc., why not to add one more. Since cell phones will create bokeh like cameras with expensive lenses, there will less and less incentive to use DSLRs for non-pros. External flash is almost the only thing that makes me take DSLR these days.

Maybe I overestimated the extra price $100 for the addition. There is very little to add to the camera. You don't need batteries, screen, case, buttons, mount. Just add one tiny microchip or add functionality to the existing chip. It will be only like $5-10 extra in the manufacturing cost.
