Wasn't that issue that they refused to allow the HDMI support being included in an open-sourced format? If I'm remembering that correctly, then it seems like an easy workaround would be to let people choose to either install proprietary precompiled drivers with HDMI support, or open-source drivers that don't include the super-secret HDMI stuff the Forum is so worried about.
I know proprietary anything is the antithesis of the FOSS community, but if the HDMI Forum creates legal obstacles to using important hardware features of your devices, then I think offering both options is a reasonable workaround.
I'm really hoping they don't remove the drivers from the Microsoft Update Catalog at least.
An offline, alternate options is Snappy Driver Installer Origin - https://www.snappy-driver-installer.org/
Recently, to get a Serial Port-USB cable adapter to work correctly (updating an old handheld GPS), I had to downgrade the driver from the 2024 to the 2021 version.
Although I never owned one, I always thought MS has a great design and UI for their phones. I wish they would reconsider coming out with a Windows 11/12 phone.
