The problem is these two competing standards solve overlapping but distinct problem sets. DisplayPort was designed to be used for computer monitors, while HDMI was designed for home theaters.
This may not seem like a very meaningful distinction to most people, but it would become readily apparent to anyone trying to design a home theater around DisplayPort instead of HDMI. Off the top of my head, DisplayPort lacks any equivalents for ARC, Auto Lipsync, and CEC. Odds are your home theater makes use of at least two of these features, even if you don't realize it.
