I feel like computer monitors DP is pretty common, but I also specifically try to get them. DP is pretty rare on TVs. They're functionally the same technologies, but most TVs won't include DP.

I had to replace a few recently and only found HDMI but I was specifically looking for the cheapest monitors possible so maybe that had something to do with it. I also needed them ASAP so I was only looking in local stores.

I'll look closer next time.

I've seen the opposite more often, where most monitors will have HDMI and DP, but several that only had DP (usually miniDP) and Type-C ports. I don't think I've seen any since the early 2000s that only had HDMI (and usually DVI or VGA).
