Also DP can do cool things like carrying the signals for multiple monitors (daisy chaining)... I have one usb type c cable that does power display and usb for my 2 dell monitors... it is awesome... sadly Apple never implemented DP daisy chaining this and when you try it with their hardware you only get a mirrored output.

Yes, it’s a pity they never implemented that.

Presumably some deal with Intel to push Thunderbolt :/ It’s an open spec now, but at the time Apple was pushing Thunderbolt hard, only Intel was building the chips for it, both for computers and peripherals (ie monitors, docks etc.)
