I see a need for it, specifically when running a HTPC, because the bandwidth of HDMI 2.0 is just too low - and thats not something you can add without a HDMI 2.1 transceiver.

I want to be able to run at 4K 10/12-bit no matter the refresh rate, which is not something I can do with HDMI 2.0, because 60Hz exceeds the available bandwidth.

Also, eARC, with streaming services also introducing better audio, and many clients for such services being baked into the TV itself.
