A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

But just use DisplayPort instead.
Why? Nobody needs high definition from a server. Vega is literally unbreakable, super reliable and cost efficient. Display port would be a absolute waste just like HDMI. Same with most hardware applications that don't need high definition displays. The server ports are literally only used to set up the server.
This isn't just a royalties issue, its a issue of necessity.
IDK man, it would be great if my crash cart or KVM only needed one cable. I can’t wait for USB-C on servers to be everywhere
USB-C on servers is a good thing. But you seriously don't need a HD capable port on a server.
There is really no reason not too though. Displayport also takes up less space that would be used for cooling or whatever.
The only reason other than compatibility is probably that the screws are nice to have if you hook it up to something permanently like a KVM. Displayport have latches but imo they suck and I usually buy cables without them.
Everything in the world is hdmi or DisplayPort. VGA is essentially now a specialty connector used only in data centers.
HDMI has their fees, but DisplayPort doesn’t. Plus at this point implementing analog to digital converters is probably more expensive than just putting DP on it.
VGA is flaky and prone to issues. It doesn't have a way of reliability relaying information such as display metadata.
