A small but essential point: In a semi a magazine is not an accessory.

I agree.
A (or The) magazine is not an accessory. A SPARE magazine, however, is an accessory.
Today, it is usual to have a spare included, just as it was once usual for a (qualtity) pistol to come with a cleaning kit (rod, brush, swab) and I always thought S&Ws with not just the cleaning kit but also a cool screwdriver that properly fit the gun screws was a class act.
But there's still a lot of new guns out there that don't come with a spare mag included. Most duty class guns do, because its what people expect these days, but the makers aren't obligated to include a spare, because it's an accessory.
Spare = extra
