This must be for commercial displays where it is beneficial for installation to have power and data over a single cable.

I can't think why I would want power delivery to my PC monitor over the display cable. It would just put extra thermal load on the GPU.

I think it's aimed at TVs in general, not computer monitors. Many people mount their TVs to the wall, and having a single cable to run hidden in the wall would be awesome.

In wall power cables need to be rated for it to prevent fire risks. This will need to have thick insulation or be made of a fire resistant material.
