If you are referring to the Budgie Brightness Controller Applet, it is provided by Ubuntu Budgie:
https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-extras/issues

However...

The applet uses 3 sliders. Going off the top of my head here...

  1. Backlight control
  2. Gamma control using xrandr
  3. Blue level using xrandr

I am guessing you are missing # 1 on your desktop, which uses what is in "/sys/class/backlight" to adjust the backlight level.
With an external monitor, you wouldn't have this type of backlight control the way you do on a laptop (at least not as far as I know).

Basically, this is expected behavior.
