re: So tell me, please: Is it correct that putting non-volatile memory in a main processor would be a big deal?

No, it is not correct. Of course, the value added would have to be sufficient to go to the trouble. That value does not exist today.

Intel was placing masked ROM, later EPROM, even later Flash memories on 8, 16, and 32-bit processors as far back as the early 80's. I know. I managed quite a few of those product lines.
