OK it's pretty clear you don't actually know how USB-C works or what it is capable of (and in particular that it is *in the spec* that USB-C can be a transport for DisplayPort signals: look up "DisplayPort alt mode": this decision is not some newfangled idea but was part of the rationale for the design of both USB-C and DisplayPort itself). I'm not wasting any more time arguing with someone who attempts to sound authoritative while not knowing something one minute of reading of the list of publically available specs at
https://www.usb.org/documents could have made clear. (You don't even need to read any of the specs: reading the *titles* of the specs is enough.)
How you can imply that you know the rationales for design decisions made during USB-C development and which tradeoff is better (and consequently badmouth them as bad decisions) when you don't even know *what USB specs exist* is quite beyond me.
