Doesn't switch back to integrated when undocking from external monitor - Mac OS Big Sur #341

Actually, I believe this is a Mac OS thing, but I wanted to raise awareness and ask anyone else on here if they're seeing the same. Maybe they could log it also.

It results in significantly reduced battery life when undocking, and the only way I know of fixing it is to reboot.

This on a OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock. Thankfully gfxcardstatus was installed and I noticed it!
