The commonality of connector is important. Ethernet has stopped using twisted pair cables for higher speeds. The SFP transceiver means can use short DAC copper cable or fiber optics for longer distances. The DAC cables that would compete with DisplayPort are pretty cheap.
Also, a big portion of the cost of networking is in the switch that can handle high bandwidths. My guess is that 25G DisplayPort switch would be just as expensive as 25G SFP one.
