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.

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.
