I guess, but my point is: There is no reason macOS shouldn't allow doing all of this on the software level.

Especially with the wholly Apple-made M series of chips, they control the entire video stack down to the transistor level.

Dummy plugs should be syscalls, not physical things.

Yep, sorry, I guess I was clicking the wrong link while trying to respond to something else.

I agree with you, it is funny that we need dummies and workarounds (being hardware or software).
