HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

Beuh, fuck the HDMI forum. I hope the spec is leaked and somebody just makes a kernel module which implements it.

Because love it or hate it, HDMI is the main interface that the vast majority of TVs use.

For this specific device you want to be able to hook it up to a TV, and unfortunately TVs tend to come with HDMI, not the superior displayport.

It will be replaced by GDMI which the Chinese invented in the future anyway.

We need to stop using HDMI, we must force screen makers to switch to DisplayPort.
