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.

Isn't usb-c able to carry Thunderbolt, which subsumed DisplayPort at some point? I thought Thunderbolt and DisplayPort were thus merged into whatever the usb standard was at the time.

Thunderbolt is a proprietary specification by Intel and Apple, while Displayport is an open standard developed by VESA.

USB connector hardware can meet the Thunderbolt or Displayport specifications, but must conform. Most do not.
