they have full control of the size of the pcb. they could have made it a cm wider.

    Lots of design considerations to be made there. When they can easily include a micro-full HDMI cord and adapters and stuff are easy to come by, it's not a horrible compromise IMO.

    no, it is, because micro-hdmi is a real brittle connector. you need to be careful when moving a pi4 and up because the cables are heavy and stiff and the connectors are tiiiny.
