That is because of lobbying. The reality is that HDMI has loyalties and isn't a free standard like display port is. Display port is also superior technologically: it is compatible with usb-c (thunderbolt), supports higher framerate, and has higher quality (up to 16K).
Ah, that's all you had to say - I'm sold.
I was expecting a lot of technical AV geekery that doesn't really apply to me but that bit speaks to me. I'm a simpleton. If it displays a terminal, an IDE, and a browser then it's probably fine for me.
Thanks!
