This must be for commercial displays where it is beneficial for installation to have power and data over a single cable.
I can't think why I would want power delivery to my PC monitor over the display cable. It would just put extra thermal load on the GPU.
The popular use for power delivery through a display cable is charging a laptop from your monitor; it's already very common with Thunderbolt or USB-4 monitors. But 480W seems a bit overkill for that.
