>What I don't understand is why these TVs don't have a DP input so we can use them at 60fps with modern PCs (and already on the market GPUs).

Probably because every TV maker / rebrander and their mother has both an HDMI license and the tooling setup. There's, basically, 0 cost to keep usin gHDMI. Moving to DP needs licensing and retooling.



As far as I know using DP does not require a license except for using the DP logo.
