You took considerable time on that post, and it was well thought out. Most of what you say is true, and certainly true from your perspective. The last statement is purely opinion.
Some might argue that having every single thing terminated at the wall creates current or future reliability issues, since an extra junction point is an extra failure opportunity. In particular, HDMI extenders might do best with a straight shot from end to end.
Though having an entire wall full of terminations looks very impressive, it is not a difficult thing to have a bundle of cables neatly dressed, going straight to the rack.
It is my opinion the HDMI should never be terminated at a wall plate. too much attenuation added to the cable. Cat standards are designed to be patched...HDMI are not.
