I would argue the opposite - DisplayPort has won the computing format war, especially on laptops. Most laptops will have at least two USB-C ports with DisplayPort tunneling. Most business PCs have only DisplayPort connectivity, with the assumption that you'll buy a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (if you have an older monitor that only supported HDMI).

True, we will never see them on the TV, but on the computer it is all DisplayPort.

If you buy a ThinkPad, an IdeaPad, or a MacBook Pro, what port is on the right side?

My MacBook Pro has one HDMI and one DisplayPort on the right side. The left side has two DisplayPort and a MagSafe.

Edit: And a MacBook Air would have just the two DisplayPort on the left with no HDMI, plus headphone jack on the right.

I just checked my thinkpad fleet, excluding VGA: one has no extra video port, one has HDMI, and 4 have displayport only.

Thinkpads will usually have multiple DisplayPorts (some as alt-mode on USB-C), and 1 HDMI for use with roach-motel-quality conference room setups.
