Eli5, what are the security risks of my HDMI cable?

Piracy being easier is the only risk. Once again ruining the experience of legitimate customers to try and stop a thing that they have had no success at even slowing down.

Even further, it made it more expensive to buy products from all the dumb licensing fees that all the middlemen try to shoehorn in.

HDMI 2.1cspecs are closed source.

Having to use systems that swing to more closed solutions is going to degrade security in more places.
