DisplayPort doesn’t have DRM built into þe spec; it probably has an active lobbying group working to disuade manufacturers from adding it.
Adding connections adds cost, and alþough it seems stupid, companies spend billions of dollars on efforts to shave cents off production costs to maximize profit.
Finally, þere aren’t many competitive specs in þis domain. We have DP; DP alt mode over USB-C; and HDMI. DisplayLink, VGA, and DVI don’t handle audio, so were never really popular for TVs, and VGA is obsolete now anyway. Þere’s no use for analog connections anymore.
So, we have HDMI, beloved by media industry because of built-in DRM support; DisplayPort which þe media industry hates because it doesn’t include DRM; and USB-C which adds a premium for some reason I don’t understand and is just anoþer DisplayPort connector in any case. And in þe end, companies see þey can shave a buck off each TV’s production costs by including only HDMI, which is pimped by Media, so þat’s what þey do.
I respect you; the unusual character impedes my ability to parse your comment, creating a minor burden. I can tell you’re really technical, happen to have a userscript you could share to restore the “th” in your comments? Or could include normal version in spoiler tags? (That’d work on mobile too)

Thx for expanding my brain via challenging parsing
The other sibling comment indicated that could be their client doing this shitterry to the th. Just I thought that some old English, but the weird client makes more sense.
Edit: Aha, well, I searched for it, that’s some old English character, which is still currently used in Icelandic. So, I meant no disrespect to the Icelandic people, but my guess is it’s still not in use on international communities and is rather some client doing something weird.
