Example EDID: https://edid.tv/edid/752/ https://edid.tv/edid/752/ (one can also go through a github link at the bottom) Most EDIDs are 256 bytes in that repo.

Most EDIDs are 256 bytes in that repo. At 500bps it may take seconds to transmit, but 115.2kbps (14kbytes/s) is enough to do it in an instant.
As usual, the issue is probably not a bus speed or a chip cost itself, but a crappy legacy timeout-based negotiation process which nobody touched or restandardized since it was slapped together. You can’t just autoupdate all compatible hardware in the world and move on.
My blind economical guess is that one couldn’t even find controllers today which are slow enough to DDC back and forth in seconds, because the package/assembly probably takes 95% of the cost anyway. Please correct me on that, I’m curious.
