DP is royalty free. Why are they looking for “yet another standard”
Right where my mind went
Power delivery with higher bandwidth than USB?
DP doesn't do power delivery and DP over thunderbolt doesn't deliver enough power for a display alone.
That last one isn’t entirely true. I have a portable monitor that does DP-Alt over USB-C and it is powered and driven via a single cable.
Small displays can be powered over thunderbolt but full features full sized displays cannot.
