Do all modern motherboards have wifi built into them now?

I was looking into the Gigabyte X470 Motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/X470-AORUS-ULTRA-GAMING-rev-10#kf

It does not mention anything about inbuilt wifi. Will I just have to buy a wifi dongle in order to use wifi? I would just plug an ethernet cable however where my router is placed and where my computer desk is just not possible.

Is there any sort of advantage/disadvantage to having a motherboard with inbuilt wifi. Like would the wifi be faster using inbuilt wifi motherboard than buying a usb dongle?

Should I invest into this motherboard which definitively does have wifi? https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/X470-AORUS-GAMING-5-WIFI-rev-10#kf

First one has no WIFI for sure. And you dont need a dongle, you get an antena to put on motherboards wifi connectors. So you dont need any USB dongle or what so ever.
 


Will that motherboard come with the antena that I can just put in myself? Or do I need to buy that separately?
 


Antena will come with the motherboard
