Is it licensing fees? I bet it is.

From the article:

the HDMI Forum (which manages the official specifications for HDMI standards) has officially blocked any open source implementation of HDMI 2.1. That means the open source AMD drivers used by SteamOS can’t fully implement certain features that are specific to the updated output standard.

And that's why HDMI can fuck right off. Display Port is new bae.
