Is it a fair comparison when VGA plugs came with screws pretty much by default? I think I have seen HDMI cables like that too, but if so then it is a much rarer find.

"Not all hdmi"
They exist but I'm not sure it's standardized. Every time I've specced one, it was the manufacturer cable "for" that device. Same with USB and DP.
I've seen thousands of devices and those are the only ones I've seen with screws
it's the displayport that's giving me trouble, not the hdmi.
