Maybe there will be variants that have more CUs. AMD is moving to a just enough graphics for a desktop CPU but the mobile market is a different story. Maybe there will be a desktop CPU that would have more emphasis on the iGPU than a processor itself. I would not cross that idea out yet. There might be something of a 5700g or 5600g but beefed up with iGPU CUs.
Yeah, I always think of laptops first when I'm talking about APUs.

Desktop APUs never made any sense to me; they cost like $100 more than the regular CPU variant, but they perform worse because they only have half the L3 cache. For that $100 you could always just get a much better dGPU and run absolute circles around the IGP. Even in the darkest depths of the 2020 shortages you could still find old 2GB GTX 960 cards for $100 that were better than the best Vega8 IGP AMD were offering at the time.
