The really dumb thing is that nobody wants to copy DVDs or Blu-Rays via HDMI anyways. It's much more convenient to decrypt the discs directly with tools like MakeMKV.

However, I suspect that isn't the real holdup here since DisplayPort also fully supports HDCP

Most of the stuff people want to preserve nowadays is never made available on a disc.

Exactly. The same streaming services that have recently gained a reputation of straight up deleting entire movies and series.
