Because the HDMI consortium has members that have an incentive to lock down the standard to enforce copyright. That's how HDMI started to begin with. It was just a DVI-D signal with sound that was encrypted. That's why you don't see TVs with DisplayPort, though I'm going to tryand find one next time I buy one.
