That's an impressive list of features that nobody ever asked for.

PC monitors can run streams just fine using the native applications on the connected PC. Or a connected chromecast/fire stock/AndroidTV box.

And streaming the display content directly means losing access to scenes/overlays and everything else that comes with OBS and co.

I'll start off by saying this isn't a feature anybody wants.

However

The "nobody asked for this" rhetoric is dumb. Most of human history actual upgrades nobody asked for.

"God this radio is so inefficient it doesn't immerse me fully, if only there was a way I could see what was happening" - nobody

Computers were a fad that nobody asked for

Debit cards, no one asked for.

There are other things that you use in your daily life that nobody asked for.

In general if we waited till the majority of people asked for things we'd be in the stone age because the vast majority of people can't think past the next couple of days if that.

You're right though, no one asked for this in a monitor, but much much more importantly no one wants this
