So you need more than 165hz, 10bit, hdr, and 4k in a couple of years? Because that's what hdmi 2.1 on a 4090 is running for me. I agree. They could have done better on the ports, but to the majority of users, the hdmi 2.1 has enough bandwidth tbh.

Not just need, but be capable of driving, too. Even a 4090 wouldn't be able to run most games at the resolutions and refresh rates we're talking about, and I doubt someone buying an insanely expensive monitor and the most expensive consumer GPU on the planet would then play games on low/mid settings.

maybe there's someone who needs 8k text clarity for web browsing, or someone doing productivity work who just happens to need 240Hz? Competititive Excel pros? :P

New AAA titles don't stop older games from running.

Yes. I want my dual-4k 32:9 240hz display for coding goddamit.

Sure. 4K 240Hz OLED is coming next year.
