The list of cameras with inbuilt focus stacking would be really short, but I might be wrong on that. Sony? Pentax? Olympus? Would be my list to search for that feature in a camera.
I just think how long it took Nikon to put in the comparatively simple technique of adjusting AFMA for PDAF by using LiveView focus positions. They are not exactly flooding the market with these kind of inventions. So I also think, Nikon waited that long with focus stacking because they are not the fastest company, not because of concerns against focus breathing
Anyway, I don't recall any problems with reallife focus stacks, so I remain highly sceptical about the role of that constructed issue. But I also used to take care of the backgrounds. Which is easy because due to the needed software and computer (so far) it's more an inside technique, less so in nature. Although there are people using it on insects.
