          The TV manufacturers own the HDMI foundation.

          Other devices being “forced” to implement HDMI ports, because every TV has them, might benefit those TV manufacturers.

          Not sure how exactly that would work, I assume it gives them some level of control/power.

          If they’re profiting more than they’re paying for maintaining this standard as the default then they don’t want it to change
