HDMI is simpler to have a simple implementation; DisplayPort is simpler to have a fully featured implementation.

HDMI keeps normal analog video timing with blank/hblank, etc. Stuffing anything other than video is pretty complex and a mish mash of finding weird gaps in the video data.

DisplayPort is it's own packet based protocol. Sending things other than video are just other packet types over the same link.
