DisplayPort is designed to give your GPU a fast connection to your display. HDMI is designed to give the copyright holder of the video you are watching a DRM protected connection to your display to make piracy harder.
This is why DisplayPort is better for the consumer but HDMI is more popular because the device manufacturers are really in charge of what you get.
DP has HDCP too. I get what you're saying, but there was more profiteering involved even than what you describe.

Care to explain how one feature added years in defines what the entire thing is "designed for"? HDMI had nothing related to drm for several years
