It's an opinion that AGI could not be built out of a conglomeration of narrow-AI subcomponents. Also there are many things that COULD be built with narrow-AI that we have not even scratched the surface of due to a number of different limitations so saying that we would have achieved AGI long ago is an exaggeration. > Consciousness and self-awareness are things that come as part of the AGI > package.

I am not sure of this and may prove myself wrong. To equal the human mind you need these things of course and to satisfy the sci-fi fantasy world's appetite for intelligent computers you would need to incorporate these as well.
