“Dongle experts I spoke to told me that the world’s dwindling vintage dongle supply is a real, actual problem that threatens to make vintage computing much more difficult moving forward”.
I had no idea there was such a thing as a dongle expert. :)

Nothing worse than a dwindling dongle ♟️
Looks easy enough to make your own.
That project is even a bit more involved because it looks to power an Apple display from a generic dvi video card. Going from DVI to ADC should be even simpler than the project you mentioned!
I don't see how anyone would make their money back on this. It's way below niche.
