Finally. All I want for Christmas is a 5K, HDR, 120Hz display. I'm managing with 4K, 120Hz, and scaling to 2560x1440 in Mac OS, but with the latter option I lose HDR. I can't give up 120Hz after getting used to it on all my devices.

I'm right there with you. A 27" 5K 120Hz is my endgame monitor. I would be perfectly happy spending my working hours in 5K, and then switching to my gaming pc to play in 1440p mode.
Technically you could already do that on DisplayPort (since DP2, the standard of which was released 6 years ago), manufacturers don't want to do anything other than high refresh rates.

I just want a damn widescreen hidpi display (I don't care about HDR or HRR), but I've yet to see one, let alone one that seems any good.

What are you using for displays in this range? I've been using 4K displays at home exclusively for ~5 years and it's rare to even see 4K display over 60hz. I assume they're quite pricy still?
