Console manufacturers all just need to switch to displayport to encourage tv manufacturers to do the same. No one's going to not buy a ps6 or steam machine because they have to use a little dp-hdmi adapter, but they might be a little more likely to choose a tv that doesn't need an adapter over one that does
I agree with the sentiment but we're dealing with a chicken and egg problem. If no TVs have DisplayPort, who would buy a console that can't be used with their TV?
TVs are starting to come with DisplayPort already in the form of USB-C alt mode.
