MAC Mini M1 cannot support two Usb-C displays - Is this not stupid ?

I had a Mac Mini with two LG HDX displays. It was awesome. I upgraded to Mac Mini M1and plugged my two "expensive" displays in and only one worked. Did some searching to find out that an hdmi connection was added to the M1 and I had to use that for the second display. My Apple LG HDX displays only have usb-C inputs. Why the introduction of the hdmi port? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever? Usb-C to hdmi adapters are a widely available and cheap. They only work in one direction though. It seems I need to get an hdmi to usb-C adapter and these are very rare. When is Apple going to fix this and allow me to use both my Apple LG displays on my Apple MAC Mini without a rare third party adapter?

I really cannot believe this "enhancement" was even contemplated.
