Isn't that the significance of the LH.. Linear Hybrid vs LM - Linear
Monolithic
I don't recall seeing many single parts in the 80s for a dime that could
drive a big inductive load at tens of MHz.

Today, I think that would still be a challenge, but certainly, we've got 
a lot more alternatives available.
