It's not any less likely for primal weapons or AF weapons to have their own aetherconvertor than a primal dropping a bow or katana that also comes with a matching quiver+arrow or scabbard.
You are trying to bring game mechanics into the equation when there is no evidence whatsoever that this affects it in a lore and design standpoint. And then bring up more examples of gear that is part of the weapon. The converter is NOT part of your weapon. It converts your aether into energy for the turret, this is explained during the MCH questline. Getting stronger suggests more aether, further enhancing your turret.
