Why was Ethernet over HDMI abandoned?
It seemed amazing.
You connect 1 device to Ethernet, like your TV, then all other devices connected to your TV get internet.
Instead of running Ethernet to all devices from a router/ switch.

If you've ever had to go through a crate of HDMI cables for office use you would see that old and new cables don't always have the same pinout, not like ethernet when it is terminated straight or crossover. Sometimes HDMI cables have polarity, like one end of the cable has to be plugged in to the output device (TV/monitor) or you get no picture. There are probably a dozen versions of HDMI, mostly tied to their manufacture date. The added cost of including line negotiation (i.e. modern modems/network cards can handshake to automatically figure out what each wire is for at each end... crossover/straight doesn't matter as much as it used to) to HDMI probably killed it. So if you ever have a problem with HDMI cables try plugging in from the opposite ends.

I expect a TV's switching hardware to be hot garbage at best and a bad hub at worst.

Thank god it got abandoned, imagine if your (((Smart TV))) could siphon an Internet connection from something less pozzed like an Apple TV. We'd have people modding HDMI cables to disconnect the pins that carry Ethernet.

HDMI is the botnet-over-cable standard. There is no sense in having it be more than a display output.

This. If you're running a display cable why the fuck do you need your TV of all things piggybacking off it to connect to a network? OP is a glownigger feeling desperate because Trump is back.

"the pins that carry Ethernet" are the pins that carry all data.
