When HDMI came along and replaced DVI, I thought that would have finally been the end of video connectors that lock into the slot.
Thankfully I’ve been lucky enough to never actually own a monitor with a DisplayPort. They’ve all been HDMI-only. I currently don’t need more than 4K 120Hz anyway so HDMI 2.0 is good enough. Probably won’t upgrade again until we have 1000Hz displays (which is what’s needed to completely eliminate motion blur).
DisplayPort as a standard is free of charge and better in every way. AFAIK, it can handle multiple 8K monitors without issues provided your GPU is strong enough.

HDMI royalties are disgusting
There are DisplayPort cables that don’t have the latch if you prefer them.
