    I think it’s more of the hassle side of things, added complexity (even if small) and it makes the product feel less refined/premium/sleek in my opinion (not something I care about personally, but the masses do and it adds some friction, even if little).

    I may be wrong, maybe adapters have no issue with hdmi to DP, but in the past I have only heard of trouble with adapters just not working for some devices.

      Dp to hdmi is very reliable. The siginals are near identical, the adapter is just a level shifter. Not much can go wrong. Issues arise when talking about either cheaply made (out of spec) or active adapters.

      Maybe for Apple users.
