I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum's decision that I am missing.

I can't find TVs with display port, probably because of "big HDMI". :(

Fun fact: DisplayPort can carry hdmi signals. So you can connect a cheap cable with DP on one end and HDMI on the other. The only catch is it goes DP->HDMI, not the other way around.

Hilariously this is the easiest way to get HDMI-CEC support on a (Linux) PC

That's very good to know... I need to do some cable shopping.

Also beware using such cables with early problematic DP1.2 implementations. The display can behave strangely sometimes.
