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.

Display Port would be better suited to do all of those things.

Usb-c supports DisplayPort! Long live open standards!

Except DisplayPort has high data transfer speed requirements and many cables that fit the nice reversible ports do not support it.

We really do need better cable identification standards for usb-c. Like electrical and cat cables have had this better addressed for a while now.

are USB-C ports that do display using displayport standards to do it anyway?

[-] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

Yes, they do. You just need a fitting cable, which supports the bandwidth.
