Displayport already exists and is way better and less expensive. The plug shape is also way better, and doesn’t have the annoying tendency to come slightly unplugged.
That is in the plans, although I’m not sure if it’s windows, the cable, or the monitor itself. Apparently DP standard doesn’t actually require the device to report itself being plugged in.
“Only my opinions are valid and there can be no other use-cases!”
But seriously… this is the reason there are multiple standards, I think it’s quite obvious the situation is more complex than you think. If it was universally so easy and so much better, we’d all already be using it, but of course we are not.
oh i just meant for stuff like micro usb. really my only beef is with the idea that better standards just magically get universal acceptance and implementation.

Now if only windows would stop reacting like I unplugged a DP monitor when it’s powered down.

it might also be a cable that doesn’t transmit power

This is not how the world works.
and why isn’t everything usb-c yet?
display port cables are cheaper than usb-c cables that support display port
