Why are there so many FM2+ MOBOs which support PCIe 3.0?

There seems to be a lot of motherboards supporting both FM2+ A88X and PCIe 3,0. Why is that? Especially considering that FM2+ sockets are utilized (mostly?) by the A-series CPUs which bottleneck Graphics Cards of PCIe 3.0 standards. Is there a different series which utilizes the FM2+ socket? Do the A-series' integrated graphics (combined with the Dual Graphics feature) compensate for the "bottlenecking" affect?
 
Solution
Whats there to complain about? Some processors like an A10-7850K are still powerful and can avoid bottlenecking with overclock.

Running dual graphics (discrete + integrated) doesn't compensate for anything, because the discrete cards that it is required are not very powerful in the first place. You'd still get better performance with something like a single 280X
