Because HDMI is a pain in the ass and everybody who is using a PC is expecting to use DisplayPort.
Which monitor are you running dp on right now?
I have 5 PCs and 8 monitors in my home and they are all using DP except one that's really old and uses DVI. DP is the standard connector for PC monitors.
Everything in my home uses HDMI.
I also don't use monitors. LG CX OLED as main monitor, sometimes hook a PC up to the regular LED bedroom tv.
No interest in using displayport, HDMI is fine for the vast majority of use cases. Not sure why we need competing connectors. Frankly, not sure why we don't all just switch to USB-C long term.
There's just no reason to not standardize with USB-C for every display.
