It's superior in every way.

Not every way, it doesn't do audio. That's really the only downside.

That's incorrect. DP has had audio (up to 8 channels, 24bit@192kHz) since 1.0, nowadays it supports up to 32 channels and 1536kHz sample rate. Wikipedia has the official standards PDFs linked.

HMDI can also do ethernet, which is very convenient. If you have two devices that support it.
