problem there is getting the entire industry on board, you inevitably run into the "now we have 1 more standard"-problem

True, but, this is one way where the near monopolies in the PC space are an advantage. If Nvidia makes the change on their own, all the motherboard companies would have to follow suit. If Nvidia worked with AMD it would effectively be a standard already.

Nvidia might want to do it as it stands because their main market these days is data center "GPUs" which are nothing like the gaming cards, so if they could make their gaming cards look more like the datacenter "GPUs", they could possibly save some design time.
