But why would they when they can make new boards? Let's be honest here, CPUs is not something people change frequently. And if they do that usually comes together with a board change. That's specifically true for mini-ITX because they usually power small home centers that will not really benefit from CPU upgrades.

You have a point, but they're limiting themselves by not including the display ports.

Not everybody is brand loyal, and if the competition offers the same kind of boards and features plus the video ports, there's a part of the market that can see those Strix boards as incomplete or not fully featured. They're ROG parts for f*ck's sake, they should have everything!

No, ROG boards are for gamers and gamers use dedicated GPUs. So in a way, completely omitting video ports on the board is the most ROG thing you could do.
