I'm still angry even 15 years later after a teacher lowered my grade just because I checked "USB" as capable technologies for video transmission. There are literally USB monitors.

Granted, back then it really wasn't popular and bandwidth was shit, but it was capable of it.

USB to VGA dongles were definitely a thing over 15 years ago. USB 2.0 could manage it fineish. Maybe not at high resolutions and refresh rates, but it could handle a monitor just fine.
