My first XT-Taiwanese clone had the BASIC ROMs

never sold with the

Even the 5150 had ancillary sockets, but I wasn't
simply referring to adding BASIC roms to a board. What
the big deal could have been I don't know, but some at
least felt they were getting a little extra something
by having the original IBM code on board. Yes there
must have been some kind of difference, albeit small.
