If what you mean by that is test HDMI input from

Lest someone start thinking that capability was actually up to

Technically, it's for contractual reasons. <br>
HDMI is licensed. Add in the HDCP NDA, vendors are forced to include

HDMI CTS 1.3a and later.<br>
Add in royalty price breaks bringing the per unit price of $0.15
down to $0.04 with HDCP, that amounts to a rather large chunk of
change.<br>
