On board is all about push button convenience. While other factors and comparisons are beneficial. The main reason to have an onboard genset on a 5'er is the ability to just push the button.
On board is not necessarily quieter,nor more efficient.
However onboard requires no set up and enables one to have full power to run both A/C's at the push of a button.

Many inverters have remote start.

Correct However remote start is still not total push button convenience.
The genset needs to be set up,loaded unloaded,plugged in,gas cans, etc..
Remote start basically keeps you from going outside and pulling the rope or turning the key.
