They don't even have HDMI ports so they are pretty useless, but I'd buy one at $2 as a desk ornament.

You don't need an HDMI port, you just need a driver to support running the right graphics calculations and producing image to funnel to another output port. The GPU may lack some features, may have an architecture that is bad for rendering, and may be suboptimal in delivering the performance per watt. Exactly like how a CPU doesn't have a display port.
