You make it sound like they are being unreasonable, but just like USB-Micro to USB-C and X to headphone jack, it's a huge inconvenience when you can't find/don't have it to hand.

I used to lose the Micro to C adapters all the time, I lost the C to headphone for my OnePlus6T while travelling and was unable to find a replacement so no headphone use for me.

Also, I have about 12 Raspberry Pis, as many display devices, a dozen or so other HDMI devices such as consoles etc, and tens of normal sized HDMI cables lying around and they're all compatible.

So just have the adapters plugged into the Pi all the time. I mean, what else would you use them for? Problem solved, no drama.
You're not wrong, but it feels like an unnecessary problem to have, stacking a couple of full size HDMI ports would have been nice, or just putting a single port on since having two on a Pi is kinda unnecessary.
