The HDMI Forum has rejected our proposal unfortunately. At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements.

HDMI did have a head start, but nowadays, the answer is money. As usual.

That also includes money to upgrade, for example, display equipment in virtually every office conference room, classroom, home theater, etc. It took a long time to shake VGA in those settings and now that that's largely been dropped in favor of HDMI it'll be a tall order to chase after the next best thing with no benefit noticeable to 99.9% of people.

Fair, but the same was said about USB. We got there eventually.
