99% of the people I know have no clue what Display Port is, while even my tech-illiterate grandparents know about HDMI.

The people you're ultimately selling to are more important than almost anything else in the equation.

There was a point where hdmi was new too. DisplayPort is superior, it should be the new standard

When HDMI was new, none of is predecessors were even 10% as universally known as HDMI is today.

DVI, VGA, Component, Composite, a few different Coax options... it was all over the place.

It's like trying to overtake Facebook today and arguing that there were social media sites before Facebook. Sure, but they weren't nearly the same Goliath.

I agree it should be, but it won't be for a while still. HDMI is still far more well known that it won't happen quickly.
