That problem is largely solved if you use 8P8C connectors with a rubber boot protecting the latching tab. https://info.pcboard.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/RJ45-Conn...
You can't tell me that's better than the USB-C connector. Even HDMI is better.

What I hate even more is when I press the Windows key and start typing an application's name into the Start menu textbox, and it misses the first two or three keypresses.
That's weird, I don't have that problem. What build of Win10 are you running? I wonder if it depends on the kind of keyboard you're using.
According to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTURkjYJ_uk Firefox's servo engine can compose CSS elements/Display List together at 500 frames / second. Maybe next version of Windows / Linux desktop should use FF's servo engine?

The little plastic bits always snap off. Ethernet is great for semipermanent wires but not very good for peripherals like portable hard drives that are constantly disconnected and reconnected.
What’s that to do with displays which aren’t unplugged frequently?
¹well, one of them. The crap LG monitors we have constantly forget about the peripherals that are attached, and one easy way to fix this is to detach/reattach the peripheral. I suspect that the company is never going to RMA these devices, sadly.

Actually not a bad idea. Ethernet speed is one gigabit per second. And there are high throughput devices like LIDARs (eg Velodyne LiDAR known from Google/Waymo self-driving cars) that are connected via Ethernet rather than USB. Having 1 GBit Ethernet LAN network since 2004, I would prefer the possibility to upgrade to 10Gbit home Ethernet in near future.
It's a terrible idea. USB-3 is faster than 1Gbit/s. and there's no way you can drive a 5K monitor with any current or near future Ethernet standard, the bandwidth demands are too punishing. Ethernet isn't optimized around short-haul signals, like computer to screen over a few metres at most, it's for 100m+ runs in datacentres. The signals have to be a lot more durable.
That's an outright lie. 20gbit switches (like the one sitting in my living room) most certainly have the bandwidth.
I also noticed that there's a lot more compositing latency on MacOS
Exactly, one more reason gnu+linux is the superior os.
