Isn't this why VGA is still widely used everywhere? It always just works no matter what even when connector or pins are damaged since there's no digital handshake or error correction just a basic analog pipeline.

I don't know, at least here (Europe) VGA has pretty much died out in all but legacy applications. The true pro format would be SDI using BNC connectors.

But I guess HDMI is going to be replaced by USB-C in the long run. Especially since the "everything-connector" also doing Video makes more sense than the video-connector also doing everything.
