Well, in a way it is.

If I'm not mistaken, most Optimus devices have their video outputs directly
connected to the Intel GPU so it's just a matter of disabling the NVidia one.

On at least some Macbook models, the video output are connected to a third
chip, and this chip must also be told to talk exclusively to the Intel GPU at
boot time first.
