With HDMI, I have both video and audio traveling over a single cable. That is _extremely_ convenient. DP _theoretically_ supports audio too, but AFAIK that's not widely implemented.

I personally prefer HDMI or DVI, I don't like DisplayPort because on the display that I have, when I turn off the display the computer detects it as if I've physically disconnected the display, which then moves all the windows that I had open around and breaks my macros...
Sounds like an OS problem. When I do that it moves all open windows to the remaining display, but when I turn the other display back on it just moves them back. No special software installed for this, just stock macOS Ventura.
I don't understand in which case the 'act like it's physically disconnected' behaviour would be more desired than what we had with all the standards before.
I have read that some DisplayPort displays do have an option in the settings to disable this behaviour.
I just wish there was only one connector. Either HDMI or DP. I don't care.
HDMI predates DP by 5 years, switching wouldn't enable any specific use case, and that 5 years head start means HDMI has market inertia. Yes we should use it because it's better but the practicality? There's so much gear that's HDMI that would have to be replaced or require new active adaptors. It's so much industry and consumer effort for such a marginal gain.

It was very convenient for me to have my headphones plugged into the monitor. Made it so I could plug a single cable over to my laptop and have basically everything else already done.
That sounds cool but I've never see a monitor with a jack. Mine all have many USB ports, but not audio. How common are they?

Unfortunately HDMI audio is also notorious for often having serious lag, both in absolute terms and relative to the video signal.
