> native HDMI features

Please tell me that this is not marketing speak for HDCP! What other "native HDMI" features are there that DisplayPort does not already support?

Non-PCM audio (i.e. Dolby Atmos/DTS-X) and HDR10+/Dolby Vision do not appear to be supported by DisplayPort.

(Nor ARC/eARC, but I think those would be of limited utility for the USB-C alt mode.)

Maybe HDMI-CEC? But at least some versions of DisplayPort also support that, including DP alt mode. Some USB-C to HDMI (via DP alt mode) adapters even advertise that capability.

DisplayPort supports HDCP, it's not HDMI-only.
