I wish DisplayPort would become the standard already. It's superior in every way.

HDMI is the microUSB of the video world and I wish it would die already in lieu of DP and USB-C/ThunderBolt.

Why not USB C? It can carry a DP signal and (obviously) do all the USB stuff you'd ever need too.

It's superior in every way.

Not every way, it doesn't do audio. That's really the only downside.

That's incorrect. DP has had audio (up to 8 channels, 24bit@192kHz) since 1.0, nowadays it supports up to 32 channels and 1536kHz sample rate. Wikipedia has the official standards PDFs linked.

I stand corrected

HMDI can also do ethernet, which is very convenient. If you have two devices that support it.

And pass remote control inputs
