HDMI (2002) is older and was already the standard for consumer A/V when DisplayPort was created (2006).

That's not a reason to continue using it in new devices, isn't it? COM/LPT ports were there before USB too, yet they were replaced.

The hassle of changing the connector is not worth the benefit of consolidating the protocols.
