Ok, but, why not just try to converge on one connector? as you say, the world doesn't care...

Fundamentally different goals.

HDMI world wants DRM because other than Kim Dotcom (who is highly problematic for other reasons) no one has dared to stand up to the MAFIAA goons.

Computing world wants DisplayPort and a hassle-free, high quality experience. DRM breaks that.

The manufacturers very much care - every HDMI port (physical or virtual) involves tithe to the HDMI consortium, whereas DisplayPort does not.

I don't follow - surely if the manufacturers have to pay for every port, they'd like something that isn't costing them money?
