The connectors have to be very sturdy, making them easier will not be good for performance

    That's definitely not a blanket statement you can make. I'm not saying everything needs to be USB-C. Even just a connection like VGA/DVI that you can screw in would be perfectly fine.

    Oh boy, the amount of engineers I have seen who end up with computers dangling from cables is not zero. At the time of VGA as a standard almost no average user bothered to screw on connectors.

    An HDMI cord will pull itself out

    A screwed in connector will rip the pins off the board. There is no extra strength there.

    The difference is you can just plug the HDMI back in. You aren't reattaching the pins to the mobo
