But HDMI 1.0 was a proprietary extension of DVI. So if DVI kept getting newer versions, HDMI would have to decide between adopting the newer DVI standards as a base for the newer versions of the HDMI protocol, or explicitly choosing to not be DVI compatible.

Since DVI development ended, HDMI got to eat the cake and keep it to - they can stay backwards-compatible with DVI while having complete control of the direction in which the protocol is developed.
