I think it helps with the HDMI 2.1 licensing bullshit.

This. I was reading about some of the ugly hacks Valve has had to get around to use 2.1 on the steam machine. They (HDMI consortium, whatever its called) won't let you use 2.1 if your video drivers are FOSS. Since SM has open drivers for the AMD card it's leading to subobtimal video output at certain resolution/framerate combos (4K@120fps? Something like that), and they can't legally advertise support for HDMI2.1.

Depends what speed their USB-C port supports.

And annoyingly you can do USB-C to DP but not the other direction.

I can't be the only one that hooks up my computer, with a graphics card, to my TV

There absolutely are ways to do this, some motherboards have a DP-In connector that is routed to the USB4 ports. One example would be the ProArt X670E.

The cheapest one nowadays is probably the PSVR 2 adapter

Thanks. For some reason when googling and searching amazon I only found "unidirectional" ones and going the other way. I fucking hate search
