Because DisplayPort is run by VESA, who better understand the appeal of an open standard.

DisplayPort is open in name only. The specifications are locked behind membership (and requisite fees of ~$5k/yr - just enough to keep most hobbyists and the like out while being less than a rounding error for big companies).

That’s not the point of my comment, the point is that whatever hdmi is, it’s got very healthy competition, so there’s no real reason for anti-trust stuff

No it doesn’t, because it’s generally monitor manufacturers that add display port, and people who want to run on large tvs are SoL

That’s on the tv manufacturers though, it’s their choice.
