Wild to see DisplayLink among the companies here.
~~Know~~ be your enemy, they say.
But jokes aside, I believe DisplayLink's focus is primarily on the client<->docking station part, with docking station<->monitor usually still being HDMI/DP (same with direct client<->monitor links). So they still have to interface with it some way or another.
I was confused by seeing DisplayLink there, but couldn't fully place them, and Wikipedia made me think they may be using HDMI and have an interest in keeping it inaccessible to sell their products and services.
