China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery

More likely they are worried that the US will limit the availability of HDMI and DP, like they tried with RISC-V, so they made their own.

Just one more (data) lane, I promise brooooo

To be fair, scart was less of a standard for display, and more a pinout to carry most of that stuff. Scart is the least problematic of those in the list.

And largely the others weren't so much competing as they addressed failures in those before it. RF had limited bandwidth and required a carrier. Composite was the same as RF, but better due to not needing the carrier. S-video is the same with the color information separated for a clearer image. Component is better still by further separating color signals.

The issue with HDMI and displayport is that they are largely the same thing.

I dunno man, hdmi has 400 different cable standards and then microhdmi on top.

Displayport already exists and is way better and less expensive. The plug shape is also way better, and doesn't have the annoying tendency to come slightly unplugged.
