[mythtv-users] Why do they put VGA on Mother Boards anymore?

Am I missing something here?  It seems to me that any mobo with "DVI"
is actually DVI-I, meaning that it has both analog and digital.  This
allows the use of a DVI->VGA cable.  So, I'm forced to wonder, why are
hardware manufacturers in the year 2008 throwing away the digital
signal and only providing access to the post D/A processed outcome?
You can't [easily] buy a display that is analog only.  So, why is it
so hard to by a mobo that is NOT analog only?

I'm looking for an Intel G965 chipset mobo for a dedicated [digital
A/V only] HD frontend system.  (based on
http://arstechnica.com/guides/buyer/guide-200802-green.ars/2 from Ars
Technica)  But I can't find anything that is not VGA only!

This is crazy!
