    IDK man, it would be great if my crash cart or KVM only needed one cable. I can’t wait for USB-C on servers to be everywhere

      USB-C on servers is a good thing. But you seriously don’t need a HD capable port on a server.

        There is really no reason not too though. Displayport also takes up less space that would be used for cooling or whatever.

        The only reason other than compatibility is probably that the screws are nice to have if you hook it up to something permanently like a KVM. Displayport have latches but imo they suck and I usually buy cables without them.
