Enumerate the rational points of a compact nondegenerate interval as q1​,q2​,…. Each singleton indicator function fn​=1{qn​}​ is Riemann integrable with integral zero. Their pointwise supremum is the Dirichlet function, which is not Riemann integrable. Thus even a uniformly bounded countable supremum need not preserve integrability.
