HDMI came around four years earlier than Display Port, so one of the reasons is that it has been around longer, therefore allowed mass adoption, first mover advantage.

    Ahh makes sense. Seems like USB A vs C a little bit. Except C is so much better I get to deal with both lol

    In that case, USB A came out right 20(?) years earlier than C - I'm guessing here, don't slay me.

    There were USB patches for windows 95 to add the support in

    Pretty close. It's debatable at exactly what moment a cable "comes out" (is it when the specification is finalized? When it's published? When device manufacturing starts? When a popular consumer device first has it?) but my personal opinion is 1996 and 2017 for USB-A and USB-C, so 21 years difference.
