Unfortunately, Apple uses Thunderbolt, and they're the only ones who do 5k/6k. We absolutely have the bandwidth for 5k120 over DisplayPort, but Apple insists on sticking to Thunderbolt.

Isn't Thunderbolt 4 supposed to support some ridiculous bandwidth too, like tens of gigabits or something?

5k120 is 57.08Gbps, Thunderbolt 4 is 40Gbps. Not enough without compression.

Of course this is a rumor, but if true, they can somehow make it work.

I thought thunderbolt used DP for video.

Thunderbolt doesn't use DP for video when in Thunderbolt mode.
