Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
www.heise.de
Technically, the Steam Machine supports HDMI 2.1. However, Valve and AMD are not allowed to offer an open-source driver for it.

I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

    FireWire was mostly an Apple thing, PCs had but often didn’t use it, so PCs mostly didn’t have anything faster than 480Mbit/s until Obama was sworn in.

    It also took even longer than that to get 480mbits.

    Firewire could to ~45MB/s back in G3 iMac days, USB2 was stuck on ~25MB/s with BOT for years until after USB3 and we finally got UASP.
