Okay so would you say there are a handful of "TVs" that need this?
It really just doesn't seem important.
I'm not sure what you mean. I think all TVs should have displayport, since regardless of what model it is, people also like plugging their pc into the living room tv for couch gaming. I just mentioned the C series as an example because they're popular with desk gamers. Alternatively, having hdmi 2.1 support would be another solution, and seems more feasible than trying to get tv manufacturers to put displayport on their TVs, because they refuse to do it for some reason.
I mean there are very very few people using TVs like yours.
The reason is money (as always). The TV manufacturers all got together and formed the HDMI consortium and then decided they were only going to use these ports on their devices, and then charge any OEM a fee for the privilege of connecting to them.
