Multi-Channel Integrated?

I was just looking through a recent Crutchfield article for the Best Integrated Amplifiers for 2022.  It included some explanations for separates vs. integrated amplifiers vs. recievers (i.e. receives conventional radio signals).

I hadn't really thought about it before and it's probably not worth thinking much about, but there are multi-channel power amplifiers and multi-channel recievers, but are there multi-channel integrated amplifiers?

Not many, if any.

Multichannel integrated amplifiers are called AV recievers.

Nope …. Never even heard of one that was not already termed a “multichannel” receiver purposely segregated into their own subgroup.
With everything stuffed into a cramped unibox with limited space and cheap power supplies, we all have them and know them as fine for HT for which they do a yeoman job, but they don’t compete with high-end 2-channel with their robust power supplies for music.
