This must be for commercial displays where it is beneficial for installation to have power and data over a single cable.

I can't think why I would want power delivery to my PC monitor over the display cable. It would just put extra thermal load on the GPU.

That already kinda allow this and the actual load is pretty small

Even a big 30 in display is maybe 20 watts

Well, power delivery goes several times that. Laptops are another very useful case for it. It's nice to be able to just have a single display port and power connector

You can do this to an extent, today
