Maybe not any more.

Not true. It's perfectly legit for a host to have multiple host
ports, with only one of them being OTG-capable. Not uncommon either;
it's a simple implementation strategy (combining existing silicon IP
with an OTG engine), and board designers find serial busses like USB
are handy as a way to integrate various devices ... simple to route
on the boards, only two pins, and so forth. It's not just a way to
connect external devices.
