Why not add it to the refresh cards?

"new" "major" feature to help sell the new cards. Let's say you got a 4090, upgrade your panel, and then realized you're gonna need DP 2.1 because you got a 20k super HD oled monitor... time to drop $ for that 5090.

There is "Display Stream Compression" or DSC that I believe can help with the bandwith constraints from 1.4a to 2.1 but it's compression and may cause latency/quality loss - in general you just lose future proof as AMD already has DP 2.1 meaning they can fully support the 540hz monitors for example or any high quality panel.
