in my experience it doesn't even do that very well. I tried getting a raspberry pi to power off an attached display and support of on/off seems to be hit or miss and specialized.
I suspect it isn't supported because it will commoditizes the device, when manufacturers really want their own protocol that connects only to their own products.
much better sales of acme products if an acme tv can only connect to an acme soundbar and an acme dvd player using acme protocols.
