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.

Time to kill HDMI with USB 4/TB bring those cost way down.
Normalize USB-c with screws and we have a deal.
But are we talking the type with a single screw above the port or two screws either side of the port?

HDMI does not have screws.
With cinema camera accessories, we have these “locking” USB C plugs. They have these notches that help stay in the port. I say it’s about 2.5x more firm and doesn’t wiggle much.
Like the old USB micros sort of?
I think the micro B had hooks on them? Are you talking about that? The USB C plugs I’m referring to had these dimples on the skinny side and the bumps are in the port.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of.
Yeah, it’s a pretty bad connector.
Display Port would be better suited to do all of those things.
Usb-c supports DisplayPort! Long live open standards!
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.
are USB-C ports that do display using displayport standards to do it anyway?
Yes, they do. You just need a fitting cable, which supports the bandwidth.
