I think you’re confusing the builder pattern with the factory method pattern. While dynamic constructor dispatch can be done by the builder, that’s not its main purpose. The main purpose is exactly what OP has said (but his use-case is rather restricted). Consider Java’s StringBuilder class. No inheritance or dynamic dispatch is used here.
