It's the latter, there is no OTG supported controller in your laptop,
nor would it ever make sense to add such a thing for a "normal" consumer
device as there is nothing that anyone could plug into their laptop in
that mode that would work.
Now with USB-C connections, and newer hardware, we might see this
happening in a year or so, but give companies time to get the hardware
made properly, it's still not quite done...
good luck!
