Have you looked at the HDMI Forum member list and board of directors?
It includes pretty much every manufacturer who makes decisions which ports to include on their devices. They have no interest in DisplayPort adoption.

I had a little scroll through yeah. They may not be interested in display port, but they’re sure interested in money. That’s why I suggested people by stuff with display port, rather that try to fight to have HDMI more open.
I appreciate AMD trying to improve HDMI openness, they’ve always been more open. That’s why I’ve bought AMD oven Intel and nvidia for the last 10 years or so.
All we can do as consumers is vote with our wallets. That’s all these companies care about.
