I think interface change fatigue is real. DisplayPort has been around but there wasn’t a compelling reason to use it when displays had hdmi ports.

People are also looking to USB-C as the next iteration in display connectivity because it does “all of the things” from a consumers perspective.

Most people will use the path of least resistance.

Many people/organizations still use VGA and ketchup-mustard-onion cables to this day if they still do the job, let alone HDMI.

At least video over USB-C is DisplayPort, so there's hope.
