Nothing more to say. Display port is not option unfortunately.

They simply don't understand the approach of open standards. HDMI is directed by a corrupt cartel with the only purpose of fleecing hardware manufacturers with patent fees. If not for their stranglehold on the TV market, HDMI would have been dead a long time ago and you'd see DisplayPort used everywhere today.

Corruption. It's controlled by cartel that profits from patent fees on it. They dominate TV market and that's why HDMI didn't disappear yet.

Commercial entities would see no value in an open standard. Quite the contrary, in fact. If they’re paying for something, it means the seller takes responsibility for it and that mitigates risk. Since they’re making money, they are happy to spend money.
Open/royalty free standards are only of value to people who put in work for free and give away their work for free. That’s a tiny bubble in the sea of commerce and insignificant to the tune of less than 1% I’d say.
